Question

Which of the following component of program state is shared across threads in a multithreaded process?

• A. Registers
• B. Auto variables
• C. Heap memory
• D. Stack memory

Hint:

When working with threads, remember that heap memory is shared, while stack memory is private to each thread.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

In a multithreaded process, threads share certain components of the program state, such as heap memory and file descriptors. However, each thread has its own stack memory and registers to maintain its execution context. Auto variables are typically stored on the stack and are thread-specific.
