I am assuming the word stopped means The thread has executed the Run method and is now in a dead state...Than we cannot invoke the thread at this stage and Exception will be thrown.. only the mwthods on a thread object can be called when the thread is in running state or in the waiting state or in runnable state.

No once a thread is stopped.It goes to the dead state hence we cannot invoke methods.If a thread is in suspend state(depricated) we can invoke methods.

People ...get the question right.

1) Once thread is in a dead state, it CANNOT be restarted
2) However, its methods and instances will STILL be accessible.
