A,B,C Correct answer
Explanation

Debugging a Windows service requires attaching the debugger to the running service process, creating a secondary dummy service that calls the main service's methods, and starting that dummy service. This indirect approach is necessary because services run in a non-interactive session. Starting both services simultaneously is not required - the dummy service invokes the actual service's code.
