How to Start a Thread in Java: The Correct Way to Initialize 'MyThread'

The correct way to start the 'MyThread' thread is:

public class MyThread extends Thread {

    public void run() { ... }

}

A. new MyThread().start();

Explanation:

Option A is the correct way to start a thread. The start() method does the following:

1. Creates a new thread: It creates a new thread object for the MyThread class.
2. Calls the run() method: It invokes the run() method of the MyThread class in a separate thread of execution.

Why not the other options?

• B. None of the above: This is incorrect; option A is correct.
• C. new MyThread().run();: This would simply execute the run() method in the current thread, not creating a new thread. This is not multithreading.
• D. new MyThread().sleep();: This would put the thread to sleep, but it wouldn't start the thread in the first place.
