Explanation

Hyper-threading can be disabled on the computer from the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS). Hyper-threading is a technology developed by Intel. It is used to improve parallelization of computations performed on computer microprocessors via simultaneous multithreading. It provides support for multi-threaded code and allows multiple threads to run simultaneously and improved response time. A microprocessor with hyper-threading feature is treated by the operating system as two processors instead of one. Answer option C is incorrect. There is no such facility to disable hyper-threading from the Device Manager utility. What is Device Manager? Device Manager is a tool that can be used to manage devices on a computer. Using Device Manager, users can view and change device properties, update device drivers, configure device settings, and uninstall devices. Device Manager is organized in a tree format with the top branches representing device categories. Users can use Device Manager to identify port resource conflicts. Device Manager can also be used to enable or disable a device. Answer option B is incorrect. There is no such facility to disable hyper-threading using jumper setting on the motherboard. Answer option A is incorrect. There is no such facility to disable hyper-threading from the Computer Management utility. What is Computer Management? Computer Management is a component that is used to view and control many aspects of the computer configuration. It combines several administration utilities into a single console tree. Computer Management provides easy access to the local or remote computer's administrative properties and tools.
