A single thread of control allows the process to perform __________(a)

1.	A single thread of control allows the process to perform __________(a) only one task at a time(b) multiple tasks at a time(c) only two tasks at a time(d) all of the mentionedThe question was asked at a job interview.I need to ask this question from Process Control Block in chapter Processes of Operating System
Answer» Right answer is (a) only one task at a TIME The explanation: A SINGLE THREAD of control allows the PROCESS to perform only one task at a time. In the case of multi-core, multiple threads can be run simultaneously and can perform multiple tasks at a time.
