To identify and terminate the process that is consuming the highest processor time, we need to select the Processes tab of Task Manager and click the CPU column. This will sort the processes based on their CPU usage, and we can easily identify the process that is consuming the highest processor time. We can then terminate this process to improve the processing speed of the system. Option A is incorrect as it sorts the processes based on memory usage, not CPU usage. Option C is irrelevant to the problem at hand. Option D is also irrelevant as it deals with services, not processes.
