Explanation

CPU and Memory are the two fundamental metrics for assessing system performance and utilization. CPU usage shows how much processing capacity is being consumed, and memory usage shows how much RAM is allocated versus available-together they paint a direct picture of whether a server is over- or under-provisioned. Page file (B) is a secondary/derived metric that indicates memory pressure but is a symptom, not a primary utilization metric. Services (C) tracks running processes, not resource consumption. Application (D) is too broad and vague as a standalone performance metric. Heartbeat (F) is an availability/health check indicator used to confirm a system is alive, not a performance utilization metric.
