An attempt of reading a locked file is
-
a deadlock
-
premature termination
-
system standby
-
none of the above
D
Correct answer
Explanation
An attempt to read a locked file typically results in the process being blocked or receiving an error code from the operating system, rather than a deadlock, system crash, or termination. Since none of the specific options describe the standard behavior, 'none of the above' is the most accurate choice.
