Selected Answer: C

Process Object: The Process object in Performance Monitor tracks performance counters related to individual processes running on the server. Each application running on Server1 will have its own process. By adding the Process object, you can monitor counters like: % Processor Time: This counter, under the Process object, shows the percentage of processor time consumed by each individual process. This is exactly what you need to identify which of the five applications is consuming excessive CPU. Working Set: I/O Data Operations/sec: Thread Count:

Why other options are less suitable: A. Processor information & B. Processor: These objects provide general CPU utilization statistics for the entire processor or processor cores. They don't break down CPU usage by individual applications or processes. While helpful for overall CPU monitoring, they won't pinpoint which of the five applications is the culprit. D. Processor performance: This is not a standard Performance Monitor object name.
