CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1001) — Question 69

An engineer is working at a remote site that does not have Internet access. Which of the following features should the engineer use to connect a laptop to the
Internet if hotspot functionality is unavailable?

Answer options

• A. Tethering
• B. Near field communication
• C. Wireless LAN
• D. Virtual private network

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Tethering allows the engineer to share the mobile device's cellular data connection with the laptop, providing Internet access. Near field communication is designed for short-range interactions and cannot facilitate Internet sharing. Wireless LAN requires an active network, which is not available in this scenario, and a Virtual private network is a secure connection method but does not provide Internet access on its own.
