Answer:

a) Run System Restore

Step-by-step explanation:

System restore is a tool present on devices managed by Microsoft® Windows®. This tool allows a computer, for example, to be completely restored and returned to its factory state, only with the programs and software that were made available by the manufacturer, that is, everything you installed on the computer will be deleted from the system and will not be installed again.

System restore is a great option if you have installed malware accidentally preventing your computer from functioning normally.
