Yes, this execution can result in deadlock.Deadlock occurs when two or more processes are unable to proceed because each is waiting for the other to release a resource. In this case, if both processes acquire semaphore x and then try to acquire semaphore y$,$ they may end up waiting indefinitely for each other to release the semaphore.Example execution sequence that results in deadlock:Process $0$ acquires semaphore x$.$ Process $1$ acquires semaphore x$.$ Process $0$ tries to acquire semaphore y$,$ but it is held by process $1,$ so process $0$ waits. Process $1$ tries to acquire semaphore y$,$ but it is held by process $0,$ so process $1$ waits.Both processes are now waiting for each other to release the semaphore, resulting in a deadlock.No$,$ this execution cannot result in starvation.Starvation occurs when a process is perpetually denied necessary resources. In this case, since both processes have equal access to the semaphores and there is no priority given to any process, neither process will be perpetually denied access to the resources. Therefore, starvation cannot occur in this execution.
