The answer is obviously Resource Monitor. Like, have you used a Windows machine before?

The best tool to use in this scenario is C. Command Prompt. Here's why: Netstat: The netstat command-line tool can provide detailed information about network connections on the system, including the processes associated with each connection. TCPView: Another powerful tool, especially for Windows systems, is TCPView. It provides a real-time view of network connections and the processes that own them. By using these tools, the administrator can identify the processes responsible for the unusual network traffic and take appropriate action to investigate and mitigate the issue. Google Gemini

The most suitable tool for a systems administrator to view which processes on a kiosk machine are connecting to the internet is C. Command Prompt. Here's why: - Command Prompt: It provides access to various powerful network monitoring tools like netstat and tasklist. These tools can display active network connections, including the originating process for each connection. This allows the administrator to identify processes generating unusual network traffic. Other options have limitations: - Resource Monitor (A): While useful for monitoring resource usage, it doesn't directly show which processes are connecting to the internet. - Performance Monitor (B): This tool can capture network-related performance data, but it doesn't provide real-time insights into individual process connections. - System Information (D): This tool offers general system information, but it lacks dedicated network traffic monitoring capabilities.

I agree that your approach would be more thorough. However, after reading the question again, the question doesn't ask you to fix the problem. It just asks what would be the most useful tool to VIEW which process is accessing the internet. Therefore, the answer is A RESOURCE MONITOR.

In the Resource Monitor window, select the “Network” tab and then select the “Network Activity” sub-tab to view a graph of the total bytes sent and received on your network.

Resource monitor would be an efficient way to determine what programs are using the most resources. If you wanted a deeper understanding of this subject however, you would want to use the netstat & net use tools in the Command Line Interface (CLI) to find ports being listened for and connected to, you can include PID and related Program to pin down the source of your network traffic problem.

Selected Answer: A
Resource Monitor is a Windows tool that can be used to track system resources, including network traffic. The administrator can use Resource Monitor to view which processes on the kiosk machine are connecting to the internet and how much network traffic they are generating. While it is possible to use the Command Prompt to view network activity on a Windows machine, it is not the most user-friendly or intuitive tool for this task. The Command Prompt provides a text-based interface for running commands, and while there are commands that can display network information, such as netstat, the output may not be as easy to read or understand as the graphical display provided by Resource Monitor.
