Answer: B

Explanation:

The various root keys in Windows Server 2016 are as follows:

– HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT: It stores information about registered applications.

– HKEY_CURRENT_USER: It stores settings that are specific to the currently logged-in user. HKEY_CURRENT_USER is saved to HKEY_USERS when a user logs off.

– HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. It stores settings that are specific to the local computer.

– HKEY_USERS: It consists of subkeys corresponding to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER keys for each user profile actively loaded on the machine.

– HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG: It includes information gathered at run time. This information is not permanently stored on the disk. It is regenerated at the boot time.
