Explanation

Screen blanking (turning off the display) after a period of keyboard/mouse inactivity is controlled by the Power Options utility in Control Panel (or Settings > Power & Sleep). Within a power plan, users can configure 'Turn off the display after X minutes' to adjust or disable this behavior. Device Manager (A) manages hardware drivers, not power behavior. Sync Center (B) manages offline files and folder synchronization. Display Settings (D) controls resolution and orientation but does not manage power/sleep timeouts - that is specifically a Power Options function.
