From the reference link, I see this: "Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) is a subsystem of PowerShell that gives admins access to powerful system monitoring tools." This makes powershell the correct answer.

Selected Answer: D
"Invoke-PsExec is a function ("cmdlet") that lets you execute PowerShell and batch/cmd.exe code asynchronously on target Windows computers, using PsExec.exe" PsExec also can be used to run cmd.exe as per question asked which tool will help to support the objective. I do think D is correct.

But B also correct as WMIC can be used within powershell. Not sure which one the 100% correct answer. I am between B & D.
