What is 'file.txt' used for in 'FileLocking' example?

  1. Demonstrating data compression

  2. Being locked for exclusive access

  3. Storing large amounts of data

  4. Showing file encryption techniques

The correct answer is: Being locked for exclusive access

The correct answer is B, Being locked for exclusive access. In the FileLocking example, 'file.txt' is used to demonstrate how files can be locked for exclusive access to prevent other processes from altering its contents while another process is using it. This is not directly related to data compression or storage. While file encryption techniques may also be used to prevent unauthorized access, the purpose of that specific example is to demonstrate file locking.
