CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1002) — Question 414

A user is requesting a solution that will prevent file corruption and ensure a graceful shutdown while providing at least one hour of uptime in case of extreme weather conditions.
Which of the following should a technician recommend?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, the Uninterruptible power supply, as it provides backup power during outages, helping to prevent file corruption and ensuring a graceful shutdown. Options B, C, and D do not offer battery backup capabilities; a surge protector prevents voltage spikes, a power strip offers additional outlets, and a power distribution unit manages power distribution but lacks battery support.
