Answer
It ensures mutual exclusion for concurrent thread access.
The 'synchronized' keyword in Java is used to prevent race conditions by ensuring that only one thread can access a critical section of code at a time. For instance, in an e-commerce application, using 'synchronized' when updating inventory ensures that two threads don't deduct the same item simultaneously, leading to an incorrect inventory count.
