Answer options

• A. halted
• B. running
• C. stopped
• D. paused
• E. starting

Correct answer: B, C, D

Explanation

A Windows service can be in the states of running, stopped, or paused. 'Running' indicates that the service is actively performing its functions, 'stopped' means it is not currently active, and 'paused' refers to a temporary state where the service is halted but can be resumed. The options 'halted' and 'starting' are not recognized basic states for a Windows service.
