A Correct answer
Explanation

Option A is Correct. The run() method to a thread is like the main() method to an application. Starting the thread causes the object's run method to be called in that separately executing thread. Option B is wrong. The start() method causes this thread to begin execution; the Java Virtual Machine calls the run method of this thread. Option C is wrong. The stop() method is deprecated. It forces the thread to stop executing. Option D is wrong. Is the main entry point for an application.
