Suggested answer: D

Explanation:

When troubleshooting a printer that was previously working but is no longer recognized by a workstation, Event Viewer is the most appropriate tool to check for historical logs and events related to the printer and the system.

Option A: Performance Monitor Performance Monitor is used for monitoring system performance and resources in real-time and does not provide specific historical event logs related to device failures.

Option B: Devices and Printers Devices and Printers show the status and properties of connected devices but do not provide a historical log of events or errors.

Option C: Task Scheduler Task Scheduler manages and monitors scheduled tasks but does not log hardware events or errors.

Option D: Event Viewer Event Viewer logs system events, including errors, warnings, and information related to hardware and software. It is ideal for checking what happened prior to the printer failure.
