Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Requiring all application programs to lock resources in the same order is a technique for preventing deadlock, which occurs when multiple processes are blocked and waiting for resources held by other processes, resulting in a standstill. By enforcing a consistent resource lock order, the likelihood of a deadlock occurring is reduced. Therefore, option C is the correct answer. Options A, B, and D are incorrect as they do not directly relate to the technique of enforcing a consistent resource lock order.
