Why each option

Task Manager provides a direct interface to view all running processes and terminate any selected process immediately.

AControl Panel

Control Panel provides access to system settings and configuration applets but has no mechanism to view or kill running processes.

BComputer Management

Computer Management contains administrative tools such as Disk Management and Event Viewer but does not provide a live process kill interface.

CTask ManagerCorrect

Task Manager (opened via Ctrl+Shift+Esc or Ctrl+Alt+Delete) displays all active processes with their CPU, memory, and other resource usage. The 'End Task' or 'End Process' option allows a user or technician to forcibly terminate any running process, including unresponsive applications or suspicious processes.

DAdd/Remove Programs

Add/Remove Programs (Programs and Features) manages installed application packages and cannot terminate actively running processes.
