Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The technique described in the question is deadlock avoidance. Deadlock avoidance is a method of preventing deadlocks by analyzing resource allocation requests to determine whether granting the request could potentially lead to a deadlock situation. This is done by dynamically examining the available resources and the current state of the system to determine if the requested resource could be allocated without leading to a deadlock. The other options listed (Circular wait, Nonpreemptive transfer, and State) are related to deadlock, but they do not specifically refer to the technique described in the question.
