Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

Resource Monitor provides real-time insights into CPU, memory, disk, and network usage by process. By observing which resources steadily increase or become bottlenecks over time, a technician can pinpoint leaks (e.g., memory), I/O contention, or other performance issues driving the slowdown.

Disk tools could be useful, but I don't recall them being the first choice for performance degradation. Resource Monitor seems like a better fit.

I think Computer Management might give some insights, but it seems more general. Resource Monitor feels more targeted for this issue.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like Reliability History is more about crashes and errors, not just slow performance.
