ANo assumptions may be made about speeds or the number of CPUs.
BNo two processes may be simultaneously inside their critical sections.

DProcesses do not wait forever to enter its critical section.
Show answerHide answer
Correct answer: (C) Processes running outside its critical section may block other processes
Explanation
A correct solution must not let a process running outside its critical section block other processes. So condition (c) does not hold good for a solution to the critical section problem.
