Solution

The system is in a safe state if all of the following conditions are met:

  1. There exists a safe resource: This means that there is a resource that can be allocated to processes without leading to a deadlock.

  2. There exists a safe sequence: A safe sequence is an order in which all the processes can be allocated resources without leading to a deadlock.

  3. The system can allocate resources to each process in some order and still avoid a deadlock: This means that the system has a strategy for allocating resources that prevents deadlocks.

So, the correct answer is "all of these".
