C Correct answer
Explanation

An exclusive lock provides exclusive access to a resource, preventing other users or processes from sharing it. Only the lock holder can access the locked data. This contrasts with shared locks (read locks) that permit multiple concurrent readers. Exclusive locks are used for write operations to prevent concurrent modifications and maintain data integrity.
