Timothy most likely used the Task Manager to identify the specific process causing the high CPU usage. The Task Manager is a built-in tool in Windows that displays information about currently running processes, including their CPU usage. While the other tools listed (Performance Monitor, Resource Monitor, and the Action Center) may provide some information about system performance and issues, they are less likely to be the specific tool used to identify a specific process causing high CPU usage.
