Selected Answer: D
When investigating suspicious processes, analyzing the specific activities of the PID in question provides the most direct insight into whether it is behaving maliciously. This includes actions like file modifications, network connections, memory usage, and system calls made by that process. In this case, the process BGInfo.exe—a legitimate Sysinternals tool—is behaving anomalously (running for an extended period, which is uncommon for such a tool). Observing PID 1024's activities will help determine if the process has been tampered with, replaced, or is being abused by an attacker.
