What are Chopsticks and Philosophers examples of in programming?

Threads and resources
Recursion
Inheritance
Polymorphism

The correct answer is: Threads and resources

Chopsticks and Philosophers are metaphors used to illustrate known programming problems regarding concurrency and resources management. For example, the Chopsticks refers to deadlocking while the Philosophers problem deals with resource starvation. Option B, recursion, is a programming technique for solving problems by breaking them down into smaller subproblems. Option C, inheritance, is a principle in object-oriented programming where an object can inherit properties and behaviors from a parent object. Option D, polymorphism, is another principle in object-oriented programming where objects of different types can be treated as the same type, allowing for more flexibility and code reuse. Thus, neither recursion, inheritance, nor polymorphism are examples of programming problems related to concurrency and resource management, making option A the correct answer.
