The appropriate plan of action in this scenario would be to uninstall the newly installed applications one at a time (Option D).

Explanation: When new applications are added to a working server, it is possible that they may conflict with existing applications or consume too many server resources. This can result in slower server response times, which can be frustrating for users and cause downtime for critical services.

In this scenario, the best approach is to uninstall the newly installed applications one at a time to determine if they are the cause of the performance issue. If the server response time improves after uninstalling a particular application, then it is likely that application was causing the performance issue.

Uninstalling each server application and reinstalling the two new applications (Option A) would be time-consuming and unnecessary. Installing another application to see if this improves server response time (Option B) is unlikely to be effective and could even worsen the performance issue by further consuming server resources. Installing antivirus and malware software (Option C) would not necessarily improve server response time and would be more appropriate as a preventative measure rather than a solution to an existing performance issue.

Therefore, Option D is the most appropriate plan of action in this scenario.
