Consider the following proposed solution for the critical section problem. There are n processes: P0 ...Pnโˆ’1. In the code, function pmax returns an integer not smaller than anyof its arguments. For all i, t[i] is initialized to zero.

Code for Pi
:
do {
    c[i]=1; t[i] = pmax(t[0],...,t[n-1])+1; c[i]=0;
    for every j 6= i in {0,...,n-1} {
        while (c[j]);
        while (t[j] != 0 && t[j]<=t[i]);
    }
    Critical Section;
    t[i]=0;
    Remainder Section;
    } while (true);



Which one of the following is TRUE about the above solution?
A
At most one process can be in the critical section at any time
B
The bounded wait condition is satisfied
C
The progress condition is satisfied
D
It cannot cause a deadlock

Correct : Code
