CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1002) — Question 162

An office location regularly experiences brownouts. Which of the following would be the MOST appropriate solution to protect the office computers?

Answer options

• A. Uninterruptible power supply
• B. Voltage regulator
• C. Surge suppressor
• D. Generator

Correct answer: A

Explanation

An Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) provides battery backup during brownouts, ensuring that computers remain operational. A voltage regulator can help stabilize voltage levels but does not provide backup power. Surge suppressors protect against voltage spikes, while a generator offers power during outages but is not specifically designed for brownout conditions.
