A. B. C. D.

B.

The correct answer to this question is D. Ctrl + Right-click.

When you hold down the Ctrl key on your keyboard and then right-click on an application, you will see a context menu with additional options, including "Run as different user." This feature is available in Windows operating systems and allows you to launch an application under a different user account than the one you are currently logged in with.

This is particularly useful in situations where you need to access an application that requires administrator privileges or access to files that are not available to your current user account. Running the application as a different user will prompt you to enter the login credentials of the user account you want to use to launch the application.

To clarify the other options:

A. FN + Right-click: This key combination is typically used to access additional functions on laptops or multimedia keyboards. It does not have any relevance to running an application as a different user.

B. Shift + Right-click: This key combination will bring up a context menu with additional options, but it does not include the "Run as different user" option.

C. Alt + Right-click: This key combination is also used to access additional functions in certain applications, but it does not have any relevance to running an application as a different user.
