The ______ tab in Task Manager gives insight into how programs are using system resources.

• A. Performance
• B. Services
• C. Processes
• D. Applications

Answer: (C)

The Processes tab shows how individual programs use system resources. It lists every running process and displays real-time data like CPU percentage, memory usage, disk I/O, and network activity for each one. This makes it easy to spot which programs are driving resource consumption and to take action if needed, such as ending a task that's hogging CPU or memory. Other tabs serve different purposes: the Performance tab shows overall, system-wide resource usage with graphs rather than per-program detail; the Services tab lists background services and their status; and the Applications tab (found in some older Windows versions) shows open apps but doesn’t provide the same depth of per-process resource data.
