Busy-waiting occurs when a thread continuously checks a condition in a loop, wasting CPU resources. This inefficient approach can be avoided using blocking mechanisms like wait()/notify(), CountDownLatch, CompletableFuture, or Lock/Condition. These alternatives allow threads to pause execution until explicitly resumed, leading to more efficient and responsive multithreaded applications.
