    Solution

    For a deadlock to occur, all four conditions must be satisfied: mutual exclusion (resources can't be shared), hold and wait (processes hold resources while waiting for others), no preemption (resources can't be forcibly taken from processes), and circular wait (a circular chain of processes exists, each waiting for a resource held by the next).
