Explanation

Resource Monitor provides real-time, detailed visibility into CPU, memory, disk, and network usage by individual processes. This makes it the ideal tool to diagnose why a computer is running slow - it shows exactly which process or resource is the bottleneck. Disk Cleanup (A) frees up space but doesn't diagnose performance issues. Group Policy Editor (B) manages policies, not diagnostics. Disk Management (C) handles partitions and volumes, not performance analysis.
