What do you mean by the protection fault?..

Answer / Javed Ameen

A protection fault occurs when a program tries to access memory, files, or other resources it is not allowed to access due to the operating system's protection mechanisms. This can happen when a user attempts to execute privileged operations, read unauthorized data, or write to protected areas of memory.
