About this MCQ

This Hard Operating Systems MCQ checks one syllabus fact.

The question is: “In computer science, Mutex refers to which of the following?”

The accepted answer is D. A synchronization object that allows only one thread to access a resource at a time.. In computer science Mutex refers to which of the following is answered by A synchronization object that allows only one thread to access a resource at a time option D Option A A user interface that allows users to interact with the operating system by issuing commands does not match the stem it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of A synchronization object that allows only one thread to access a resource at a time Option B An operating system that executes a series of jobs without user interaction processing them in groups does not match the stem it is a near-miss used to catch incomplete recall of A synchronization object that allows only one thread to access.

A. A user interface that allows users to interact with the operating system by issuing commands.
