Java ReentrantLock Concurrency Issue

Question

What concurrency issue is most likely caused by the omission in the doWork() method?
 
```java
import java.util.concurrent.locks.ReentrantLock;

public class LockExample {
    private ReentrantLock lock = new ReentrantLock();
    
    public void doWork() {
        lock.lock();
        try {
            // perform operations
            doMoreWork();
        } finally {
            // Missing unlock here
        }
    }
    
    public void doMoreWork() {
        lock.lock();
        try {
            // additional operations
        } finally {
            lock.unlock();
        }
    }
}
```

Accepted Answer

A potential deadlock due to the failure to release the lock acquired in doWork(), preventing subsequent acquisitions.

Answer

A race condition in the execution of doMoreWork() because of overlapping lock usage.

Answer

A compile-time error because of missing lock management code.

Answer

An InterruptedException that stops the thread unexpectedly.
