Stop a thread

[Thomas Markl]

What wight cause the current thread to stop excutings?
A.thread of higher priority become ready
(yield-methode).
B.method sleep() be called.
C.method stop() be called
D.method suspend() be called.
E.method wait() be called
I think the answers are A, B, C, D, E.
Does a call to the wait method stop a thread?
Thanks for your answers.
Thomas.

Assuming "stop" in this question does not mean
that the thread cannot resume at a later time, then all options are correct, in my opinion.
If "stop" in this question means a final halt of the thread's execution, then only the (deprecated) method stop() will do it.
wait() is a method of Object.
