At the moment the deadlock occurs we have JIM waiting because of a lock set on Record 1 (by uncommited trans) by SCOTT and SCOTT waiting because of lock set on Record 2 (by uncommited trans) by JIM.
When SCOTT is chosen as a victim and get the ora-00060 he still have a lock on record 1 (and JIM his waiting) so SCOTT has to commit or ROLLBACK his transaction (answer B) and he has to re-execute the last command (ANSWER A)
