Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. The domain contains a
Microsoft System Center 2012 infrastructure.
All client computers have a custom application named App1 installed. App1 generates an Event ID 42
every time the application runs out of memory.
Users report that when App1 runs out of memory, their client computer runs slowly until they
manually restart App1.
You need to recommend a solution that automatically restarts App1 when the application runs out
of memory. The solution must use the least amount of administrative effort.
What should you include in the recommendation?
A.
From Configurations Manager, create a desired configuration management baseline.
B.
From Windows System Resource Manager, create a resource allocation policy.
C.
From Event Viewer, attach a task to the event.
D.
From Operations Manager, create an alert.
C seems to be more correct: when Event ID 42 occurs, a task restarts the service.
SCOM creating the alert would notify of the condition, but additional workflow would be needed to issue remediation and restart the affected service.

I think the key is ‘use the least amount of administrative effort’. With C, you would have to attach a task to the event on every workstations. With D, you could centralize the job.

It is D. Read this: http://www.systemcentercentral.com/how-to-restart-any-windows-service-on-scom-alert-from-a-single-orchestrator-runbook/

This article is about starting a service after a certain event id. Nowhere in the question is mentioned that the app is a service.
With attaching a task to a event you can start a program. This program could be a batch file that first kills the application process (if still running) and restart it

Therefore answer C seems the best answer to me

I gave this some addional thaughts; to ditribute this solution to all clients is not the least administrative effort. I guess SCOM can do the job with some workbook orchestrotor configuration like Aplha said. D would be better then

Agree with D.
With C, the admin has to do on all the computers which is not any admin wants.
With D, you could distribute it with SC2012.

“All client computers have a custom application”
For one or two computers, you can use “C”, but you don’t know how many computers there are.
With option D, you use less effort
