Answer / Pappu Chauhan
A critical section in an operating system is a portion of code that accesses shared resources, such as memory or files. If multiple processes try to access the same critical section simultaneously, conflicts can occur and lead to inconsistencies or errors. To prevent this, synchronization mechanisms like mutexes (mutual exclusion objects) are used.
