How does the utilization of multiple threads impact the capability of a process to perform tasks in computing?

It simplifies the process to manage a single task efficiently

It restricts the process to perform only one task at a time

It enables the process to execute multiple tasks concurrently

It minimizes the need for task allocation within the process
