Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Binary semaphores are used for mutual exclusion to ensure only one process accesses a critical section at a time. They must be initialized to 1, allowing the first process to enter while subsequent processes wait until it exits. This initialization guarantees proper synchronization without deadlock or race conditions.
