Can you name the main types of collections that support parallel work and are safe under concurrency?

Answer from AI
In C#, the following main collection types from the System.Collections.Concurrent namespace are used to ensure parallel operation and safety during competition:
- ConcurrentDictionary<TKey, TValue> — thread-safe dictionary.
- ConcurrentQueue<T> — thread-safe queue.
- ConcurrentStack<T> — thread-safe stack.
- ConcurrentBag<T> — collection for storing objects without a specific order, optimized for parallel access.
These collections allow multiple threads to safely add and retrieve elements without the need for external synchronization.
