Please be sure with the terminology here. No confusion abt Multitaking. But the second one, is it Multiprocess or multiprocessing ?? If you meant to say multiprocessing ANS#3 above is the correct response. If it is multiprocessing, ANS#8 gives you the right response to an extent.

Task, Process and thread: all these terms have their own meaning depending upon the OS. In General, this is what it is.

Task is a general term. A task can be a Process or a Thread.

Process is a program in execution and it has its own memory.

Threads are created and run in the context a process. A process can have multiple threads.

Ex for Process: MS Word, Notepad, calculator ete etc

Ex for threads: Within MSword, there will be multiple threads. One for grammar checking, one for formatting, one for printing etc etc.

Hope this gives you some idea in general.
