Selected Answer: B
B is the correct answer Time of Check/Time of Use (TOC/TOU) errors occur when there is a gap between the check of a condition and the use of the resource based on that condition, allowing an attacker to modify the resource between those two actions. This can lead to unexpected behavior or exploitation. To mitigate TOC/TOU errors, you need to ensure that the operations between the check and use of a resource are atomic. An atomic operation means that it is completed in a single, indivisible step. This ensures that no other processes or attackers can modify the resource between the check and the use of it.
