Answer 2

Option (A) is correct.

A thread is a lightweight process where the context switching is low.

What about the thread :

• A thread is a flow of execution through the process statement that has its own program counter to keep track of which instruction to execute next, the system registers to maintain its current working variables, and a stack to keep track of the execution history.

• A thread of execution is the smallest series of programmed instructions that may be controlled independently by a scheduler, which is usually part of the operating system, in computer science.
