Why each option

The question seeks the Windows utility specifically designed for managing and configuring hardware devices. Device Manager provides an interface to view and modify hardware properties, drivers, and settings.

AWindows Task Manager

Windows Task Manager is used to monitor system performance, manage running processes, and view network activity, not to configure hardware devices.

BEase of Access

Ease of Access Center provides accessibility options for users with disabilities, such as sticky keys or narrator, not hardware configuration.

CDevice ManagerCorrect

Device Manager is a control panel applet in Windows that allows users to view and control the hardware attached to the computer, enabling configuration of devices by updating drivers, enabling/disabling devices, and checking their status. It provides a centralized interface for managing device settings and troubleshooting hardware issues.

DRegistry Editor

Registry Editor is used to view and edit the Windows registry, which stores system-wide settings, but direct hardware configuration through it is typically done indirectly or by advanced users and not the primary tool for device configuration.
