Your mobile phone's GPS app keeps randomly popping up on the screen, and your phone seems to be very slow. Which option is MOST LIKELY to be ineffective in this case?

Force-stopping the application is unlikely to be effective because it only temporarily stops the application from running in the background. However, it does not address the underlying cause of the issue. If there is a problem with the GPS app or a potential malware infection, force-stopping alone would not provide a long-term solution.
