Just check the Thread API. If just one public method is not static, then the answer must be false. What about run() for example?
Could be the author meant to restrict the question to only the Static members:
All public static methods in the Thread only affect the current thread
Regarding join() and setPriority(), look at the API to determine if they are static or not.

The join() and setPriority() methods are not static. They are just final methods.
