A) Computer Management
B) Event Viewer
C) Performance Monitor
D) Services
E) A big hammer
The answer: D) Services
The Windows Services view shows individual services and their state, and it also shows how the dependencies required for each service.

Likewise, if a service requires additional services to operate, then you must start the dependencies and the primary service to function properly.
