CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) — Question 171

A systems administrator is monitoring an unusual amount of network traffic from a kiosk machine and needs to investigate to determine the source of the traffic. Which of the following tools can the administrator use to view which processes on the kiosk machine are connecting to the internet?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Resource Monitor, as it provides detailed information about network activity, including which processes are using the network. Performance Monitor tracks system performance metrics but does not specifically show process-level network connections. Command Prompt can execute network-related commands but lacks a graphical interface to monitor processes. System Information provides general system data, not specific network usage details.
