C should be the Answer. Critical section is nothing but a "region" where there is data which is shared by many process. To deal with this and achieve synchronization and mutual exclusion semaphoroes are used.

The correct option is c.

Critical section is a part of a multi-process program that may not be concurrently executed by more than one processes at a time.
In other words, it is a piece of a program that requires mutual exclusion of access.
So based on this clear definition : C should be the answer.

I think option c should also be correct as a critical section is a section which is mutually sharable as well as modifiable.

But we can do the same work of P(wait) and V(signal) operation from other techniques also like some TSL and many other.

In the above answer, P and V operations means? Can anyone explain this?

It is a main section of a program where main task is going on.
For example in a factorial program the critical region is that where the factorial algorithm implements.
Like|:
1: for(int i=1;i<=num;i++)
2: fact=fact*i;
So both of the line are worked as a critical region.
