Selected Answer: B
B. Ensuring atomicity of operations between checking and using data resources Time of Check/Time of Use (TOC/TOU) errors, also known as race conditions, occur when a system checks the status of a resource at one point in time and then uses that resource at a later point in time without proper synchronization. This time gap between checking and using the resource can lead to security vulnerabilities.
