CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1002) — Question 71

A Mac user's operating system became corrupted, and files were deleted after malware was downloaded. The user needs to access the data that was previously stored on the MAC.
Which of the following built-in utilities should be used?

Answer options

• A. Time Machine
• B. Snapshot
• C. System Restore
• D. Boot Camp

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Time Machine, as it is a built-in backup utility for macOS that allows users to restore lost files and previous system states. The other options are not suitable for this purpose: Snapshot refers to a point-in-time copy of data but is not a user-accessible utility, System Restore is not available on macOS, and Boot Camp is a utility for running Windows on a Mac, not for data recovery.
