What condition is necessary for deadlock to occur according to the text?

Circular wait
Multiple threads
Multiple resources
Single threading

The correct answer is: Circular wait

Explain The necessary condition for deadlock to occur is circular wait, since it refers to a situation where multiple processes are waiting for each other's resources and none of them are able to continue. This condition involves the use of multiple threads and resources, but it is not the defining factor for deadlock. Similarly, single threading may prevent deadlock from occurring by not allowing multiple processes to access resources simultaneously. Therefore, the most important factor for deadlock is circular wait.
