C Correct answer
Explanation

Tomcat executes JSP pages using threads from its thread pool rather than spawning separate processes or using CGI. When a JSP is requested, Tomcat uses one of its worker threads to execute the compiled servlet (which is what a JSP becomes after compilation), making it much more efficient than CGI scripts or separate processes.
