Why each option

Restoring service to a user is the objective of Incident Management, not Problem Management. This question tests the distinction between these two closely related ITIL processes.

ATo prevent problems and their resultant Incidents

Preventing problems and their resultant incidents is a valid proactive objective of Problem Management, specifically the proactive problem management sub-process.

BTo manage problems throughout their lifecycle

Managing problems throughout their lifecycle - from detection through root cause analysis to resolution - is a core objective of Problem Management.

CTo restore service to a userCorrect

Restoring service to a user as quickly as possible is the primary objective of Incident Management, which focuses on minimizing the impact of disruptions. Problem Management instead focuses on identifying root causes, preventing future incidents, and eliminating recurring failures - it operates at a different layer and is not concerned with immediate service restoration for individual users.

DTo eliminate recurring incidents

Eliminating recurring incidents by addressing their underlying root causes is a key reactive objective of Problem Management.
