CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1001) — Question 215
Joe, a user, needs to have a notebook connected to a monitor, a mouse, and a keyboard when he is working at his desk. His notebook is not business class, yet is meets company policy for personal computers.
Which of the following should a technician install for Joe?
Answer options
- A. Port forwarding device
- B. Docking station
- C. KVM switch
- D. USB hub
Correct answer: B
Explanation
A docking station is the ideal solution as it allows Joe to connect multiple peripherals like a monitor, mouse, and keyboard through a single connection to his notebook. The other options, such as a port forwarding device, KVM switch, and USB hub, do not provide the same level of functionality needed to connect multiple devices to a laptop in a desktop setting.
