Answer
1 - B, 2 - C, 3 - D, 4 - A
Explanation
Each option describes a different relationship between access, programs, and power. **Lock** restricts access without ending the session; **Log off** ends the session and closes programs; **Sleep** conserves power while retaining running programs; and **Shut down** closes programs and turns the computer off. Matching these accurately helps avoid confusing a screen lock with a session-ending or power-off action. **Key takeaway:** Distinguish options by whether programs keep running and whether the computer remains on.\n\n**Glossary:**\n- **Session**: The current signed-in user's activity.\n- **Sleep**: A low-power computer state that retains running programs.\n- **Shut down**: The process of closing programs and turning off the computer.
