Select the correct text in the passage. Which concept explained in the paragraph below means that data always remains consistent?

Specific programs have some tasks that a computer must perform in parallel with others. These tasks (such as the performance of the same set of operations on different data sets) often work in parallel clusters. In such cases, a separate thread of execution handles each separate task. You can think of a thread as a sequence of instructions that computers can manage independently.
It is possible for different threads to access the same data elements and change their values, and this can lead to an inconsistent state of information. For instance, if multiple programs access a shared variable x and change its value, the variable will not contain the correct value at the end of the programs. We can prevent such inconsistencies by using locks. A thread puts a lock on shared data, and releases this lock only after completing its operations.

A - some tasks that a computer must perform in parallel with others. These tasks (such as the performance of the same set of operations on different data sets) often work in parallel clusters.

B - You can think of a thread as a sequence of instructions that computers can manage independently.

C - It is possible for different threads to access the same data elements and change their values, and this can lead to an inconsistent state of information.

D - A thread puts a lock on shared data, and releases this lock only after completing its operations.
