Question 1 of 30

A SharePoint farm administrator, Ms. Anya Sharma, is alerted to severe performance degradation across the entire SharePoint Server 2016 farm. Users are reporting extremely slow page loads and an inability to access sites. Initial monitoring reveals that the Search Service Application (SSA) is consuming an unusually high percentage of CPU and memory on the servers hosting its components. Further investigation by Ms. Sharma confirms that a recent, unannounced change to the crawl schedule has resulted in all content sources being crawled almost continuously, overwhelming the search indexer and its associated SQL databases. What is the most effective immediate action Ms. Sharma should take to restore farm stability and address the root cause of the performance issue?

Temporarily disable all search crawl schedules within the affected Search Service Application and subsequently review and reconfigure them.
Initiate a full rebuild of the search index for all content sources to ensure data integrity and potentially resolve underlying issues.
Restart the SharePoint Timer service and all search-related Windows services to clear potential service-related bottlenecks.
Provision additional server hardware with increased RAM and CPU capacity to accommodate the high search indexing load.
