Final answer:

The process stack contains function parameters, local variables, and return addresses but not the PID of a child process.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking about the contents of a process stack in the context of computer programming and operating systems.

A process stack typically contains the function parameters, local variables, and return addresses that are used during the execution of a function within a program. However, it does not contain the PID (Process Identifier) of a child process.

The PID of a child process is generally handled by the operating system's process control block (PCB) structure, not by an individual process's stack.
