CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1002) — Question 387

Which of the following is a risk to computer equipment when the humidity is low?

Answer options

• A. Static discharge
• B. Corrosion
• C. Frequent brownouts
• D. Increased dust

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Static discharge is a significant risk to computer equipment in low humidity because the lack of moisture increases the likelihood of static electricity build-up. Corrosion is more associated with high humidity, while frequent brownouts and increased dust are not directly related to humidity levels affecting equipment.
