Ceverything, including stack and registers
Dheap, globals, open files; NOT stack or registers
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. heap, globals, open files; NOT stack or registers
Threads share the process-wide resources: heap, globals, open file table, code segment.
Each thread has its OWN stack (so function calls don't collide) and its OWN registers (its current CPU state).
The TCB stores the per-thread bits; the PCB stores the shared bits.
Confusing this leads to subtle race conditions and stack corruption.
