Which of the following is NOT the method for handling deadlock?

The correct answer is

Deletion

    Assignment edges: $R_1 \rightarrow P_1, R_2 \rightarrow P_2, R_3 \rightarrow P_3, R_4 \rightarrow P_4$ (the assignment edge $R_1 \rightarrow P_1$ means resource $R_1$ is assigned to process $P_1$, and so on for others)
    Claim edges: $P_1 \rightarrow R_2, P_2 \rightarrow R_3, P_3 \rightarrow R_1, P_2 \rightarrow R_4, P_4 \rightarrow R_2$ (the claim edge $P_1 \rightarrow R_2$ means process $P_1$ is waiting for resource $R_2$, and so on for others)
