Correct Answer
A high-level synchronization construct that bundles shared data with the procedures that operate on it, automatically ensuring mutual exclusion and providing condition variables
Explanation
Monitors (as in Java's synchronized methods or Pascal-style monitors) encapsulate shared data and the operations on it so that only one thread can be active inside at a time, with condition variables (wait/signal) for more complex coordination — reducing the chance of synchronization bugs compared to raw semaphores.
