B Correct answer
Explanation

The Performance screen in EM Database Control is the primary location to investigate sudden performance degradation, as it provides detailed metrics on wait events, throughput, and resource utilization. The Administration and Maintenance screens are for configuration and maintenance tasks, not performance diagnostics. The main screen only shows high-level alerts.

AI explanation

In Oracle Enterprise Manager Database Control, the Performance screen (Database home page > Performance tab) is the dedicated dashboard showing host CPU, active sessions, wait classes, and top SQL/sessions consuming resources — the natural first stop when performance suddenly degrades. The Main (home) screen gives only a general status overview, the Administration screen is for configuring schema/storage/security objects, and the Maintenance screen handles backup/recovery and patching tasks — none of these are built for diagnosing a sudden performance drop.
