Explanation

Race conditions occur when concurrent processes compete for shared resources improperly, leading to unpredictable behavior and server instability. This can cause crashes, hangs, or uncontrolled resource consumption. Cross Site Tracing (B) is unrelated to race conditions - it's an attack technique. Resource unavailability (A) can be a symptom of server instability but not the primary technical consequence.
