Explanation

Services.msc (A) is the Services management console, which lists all Windows services including the Print Spooler. From here, a technician can start, stop, pause, or change the startup type of any service. This is the correct and direct tool for managing the Print Spooler service. gpedit.msc (B) is the Group Policy Editor, used to configure system and user policies, not to start/stop individual services. regedit (C) is the Registry Editor, which can configure service settings in the registry but is not the appropriate tool for simply starting or stopping a service. The Printers and Faxes settings (D) manages printer devices and queues, not the underlying spooler service itself.
