CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1002) — Question 95

A technician must manually modify the HOSTS system file in order to resolve a website address to a specified local destination. Which of the following utilities should the technician use to BEST accomplish the task?

Answer options

• A. Regedit
• B. services.msc
• C. Msinfo32
• D. Notepad
• E. MMC

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, Notepad, as it is a text editor that allows the technician to open and modify the HOSTS file directly. The other options, such as Regedit and services.msc, are used for registry and service management, respectively, while Msinfo32 and MMC serve different purposes that do not involve editing text files.
