A thread is a light weight Process. 

We might call it that way because a thread, like a process, is a way to have a parallel, concurrent, flow of execution. But contrary to a process, a thread shares the same memory as the other threads in the same process, instead of having a completely separate memory.

Hence,Option(B)Number of resource is the correct choice.

Each process should have code, data, files, stack and registers as separate resources

individual threads have only stack and registers as separate resources allocated to them.

answer must be B) Number of resources
