B) alternative
C) safest

9. . . . . . . . is a technique which concurrent programmers employ to make a thread wait on certain condition. Unlike traditional methods like wait(), sleep() etc. which all involve relinquishing CPU control, this method does not relinquish CPU, instead it just runs empty loop, in order to preserve CPU caches.
A) Thread dump
B) Reentrant Lock
C) Hash Map
D) Busy spin
10. . . . . . . . . is the process of storing and restoring of CPU state so that Thread execution can be resumed from the same point at a later point of time.
