A shared client computer running Windows 7 is responding and loading applications slowly.
Windows Task Manager indicates that available memory is low and that several applications, which
are not running on the desktop, are using a large amount of memory. You need to recommend an
approach for optimizing the performance of the client computer. What is the best approach to
achieve the goal? (More than one answer choice may achieve the goal. Select the BEST answer.)
A.
Use Task Manager to end unknown processes and processes that are not associated with the
currently active user account
B.
Log off all users other than the currently active user from the client computer
C.
Restart Windows Explorer
D.
In the Services Management console, stop unnecessary services

I think that the correct answer is B
The computer have several APPLICATIONS using a large amount of memory.
Answer C, only is for services.
Bunch of applications running on the background (not on the user’s desktop). You may want to be careful since they could be important applications.
So let’s do process of elimination:
answer A: not right since applications running on the background (could be other users or who knows) but obviously not started by the current user.
answer B: quite dangerous, other users may have something running or files open, you don’t want user to come back to you later complaining he/she lost some files / corrupted the files. And this may or may not resolve the problem.
answer C: won’t do anything
So we are left with answer D, the best possible answer
