Which of the following is a characteristic of threads?

B)When running multiple parallel threads, the threads are exactly interleaved
C)The thread scheduler executes the threads in the same order as its call
D)Parallel threads run exactly at the same time and in the same order

The order of execution of parallel threads is somewhat random because it depends on the thread scheduler and other factors such as thread priority and availability of resources. The other options (B, C, and D) are not true for threads. Threads may be interleaved, but not in an exact sequence as mentioned in option B. The thread scheduler may execute threads in a different order than its call, depending on the priority and availability of resources. Finally, parallel threads may overlap in time but not necessarily run exactly at the same time and in the same order as mentioned in option D.
