Two schedules are conflict equivalent when

Athey commit the same number of transactions
Byou can swap consecutive non-conflicting ops
Cthey have identical wall-clock execution times
Dthey use the same locking protocol
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. you can swap consecutive non-conflicting ops
Conflict equivalence is a syntactic equivalence: it allows swapping consecutive operations only when they do not conflict (different items, or same-item reads). Swapping conflicting ops would change the semantics. Commit counts, timing and locking choices are unrelated.
