Answer:
Optimistic concurrency: It assumes that resource conflicts between multiple users are very unlikely to occur and thus allows transactions to execute without any locking mechanisms on the resources. It is only while changing the data that a check is made on resources if any conflicts have occurred. If there’s a conflict then the application must read the data again and try to change it as well.
