Application domains are typically created by runtime host( i.e. Windows process/program). Application domains provide an isolation boundary for security,.... .NET program is an Assembly loading into an Application domain. Threads are the operating system construct used by the common language runtime to execute code in Application domains. Therefore, for .NET, Process (runtime host) -> Application Domains -> Assemblies (.NET programs)-> Managed Threads.

It's actually Application Domains. Application Domains in turn can contain one or more threads.

I think it is a little bit ambigous question. From the OS point of view, the threads is correct.

question is bit ambiguous.
If it is asked as : Win process can be divided on to what ? then the answer is application domain.
But a process as a program i.e.
A .net program/process can be divided in to what? then the answer would bee thread.

Overall the questin needs to be reframed for ease, but a .net guru should pick up the clue from the question.

Process is nothing but a program.

Process cannot be divided into multiple program, thread or appdomains.

In a process, you can launch another process using Process class. You can create multiple Threads and AppDomains in a single process.

At the time of exe bootstrap, CLR creats 3 Application Domains.  Out of these there one is responsible to run the code in it's boundary.  Here a programmer can create multiple thread to accomplish the work.

App domains.

This could be best understood by taking an example of a browser program. A browser may run multiple web applications simultaneously. All these could be run in separate app domains. So, individual web apps can be closed. Even if a web app crashes, it doesn't affect the other apps in browser.

Thread is independent of app domain.
