Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand the pipeline usage
The command gets the process named 'powershell' and pipes it to Stop-Process. The -PassThru parameter makes Stop-Process output the stopped process object.
Step 2: Predict command behavior
The process will be stopped, and its details will be shown as output. No error occurs because piping is supported.
Final Answer:
Stops the PowerShell process and outputs the stopped process details -> Option B
Quick Check:
Get-Process piped to Stop-Process with -PassThru stops and outputs = B [OK]

Quick Trick: Stop-Process supports pipeline input and -PassThru outputs stopped process [OK]
