Explanation:
Explanation/Reference:
You should navigate to the Server Manager snap-in and there click on All Servers, and then
Performance Counters. The Performance Counters, when started can be set to collect and display
data regarding processor usage, memory usage, amongst many other resources like disk-related and
security related data, that can be monitored.

The explanation is not entirely correct. You need to navigate to LOCAL SERVER -> Performance -> right click the server name -> Start Performance Counters.
But correct answer is C – just the explanation is not 100% correct.
The answer is D. Trick is in the name of the Collector set. If you started performance monitor and started the “System Performance” DCS, nothing would show in server manager.
When you start counters using server manager, a different DCS is started – one called “Server Manager Performance Monitor”.
