Option A. Either of the two events (notification or wait time expiration) will make the thread
become a candidate for running again.
Option B is incorrect because a waiting thread will not return to runnable when the lock is
released, unless a notification occurs.
Option C is incorrect because the thread will become a candidate immediately after notification,
not two seconds afterwards.
Option D is also incorrect because a thread will not come out of a waiting pool just because a l
ock has been released.
