Answer 1

Deliver the signal to the thread to which signal applies would be an acceptable signal handling scheme for a multi-threaded program.

Deliver the signal to the thread to which the signal applies.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Multi-threading in programming is a programming model that allows a user to create multiple threads in a single program.

• When the program executes, actually these threads execute in a certain order and the control signal [passes through each thread].

• The signal is delivered only to that particular thread to which it applies.

• Applying a signal to a thread which was not expecting it may cause errors in execution.
