To answer this question, you need to understand the concept of thread states and how to resume a suspended thread.
In multithreading, a thread can be in various states, such as running, suspended, or waiting. When a thread is suspended, it means that it has been temporarily paused and is not actively executing its code.
To resume a suspended thread and bring it back to the running state, the correct option is:
D. Resume
The Resume
method is used to resume a suspended thread and allow it to continue its execution. This method is typically used in conjunction with the Suspend
method, which suspends a thread's execution.
Here's a breakdown of the other options:
A. Pulse - The Pulse
method is used in conjunction with the Monitor
class in C# to signal a waiting thread that a certain condition has been met. It is not used to resume a suspended thread.
B. PulseAll - Similar to Pulse
, the PulseAll
method is used with the Monitor
class to signal multiple waiting threads that a certain condition has been met. It is also not used to resume a suspended thread.
C. Interrupt - The Interrupt
method is used to interrupt a thread, causing it to throw an ThreadInterruptedException
and possibly terminate. It is not used to resume a suspended thread.
E. ReStart - There is no built-in method called ReStart
in C# for resuming a suspended thread.
Therefore, the correct answer is D. Resume. This option correctly describes the method used to return a thread from a suspended state.
