Which strategy can NOT solve a deadlock condition?

Using a timeout
Preemptively taking resources away
Preventing circular waits
Reducing the number of resources

The correct answer is: Preemptively taking resources away

Taking preemptive resources away as a strategy to solve a deadlock condition is not effective because it can lead to starvation, where one process continually takes resources away from another, causing it to never complete its task. Using a timeout, preventing circular waits, and reducing the number of resources are all effective strategies for solving deadlock conditions.
