Deadlocks typically occur when multiple threads or processes are waiting on each other to release resources they need to continue. In the given scenarios, while they describe situations where threads are in infinite loops and have acquired locks, these alone do not guarantee a deadlock. Deadlocks require a specific condition where threads are waiting on each other to release locks or resources that the other needs. In scenarios I, II, and III, without additional information about the threads waiting on each other's locks, we cannot definitively say a deadlock will occur.
