CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1002) — Question 230

After installing an application on a smartphone, a user starts receiving pop-up ads for recently visited physical stores. The user also receives prompts to install other applications. Which of the following permissions should be revoked to disable the unwanted notifications?

Answer options

• A. Account access
• B. Mobile data
• C. Location access
• D. Contacts access

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Revoking 'Location access' will help prevent the app from tracking the user's physical location and sending ads related to nearby stores. The other options, such as 'Account access' and 'Mobile data', do not directly influence the delivery of ads based on location, and 'Contacts access' is unrelated to this specific issue.
