Consider the following code.
int main() {
    pid_t pid = fork();
    if (pid 0) {
     sleep(2);
        exit(0);
    } else if (pid == 0) {
        sleep(10);
    } else { // fork failed
        ;
    }
    exit(0);
}

Assuing that fork succeeds, and 10 seconds is a good enough delay to achieve what the program intends to do, and considering x6 environment

which one of the following is correct:
