CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1101) — Question 116

A user is expecting a visit from a new customer, and the company's ADSL link has suddenly gone down. Which of the following should the user do to access a smartphone's 4G internet connection from the laptop?

Answer options

• A. Set up a VPN.
• B. Configure a hotspot.
• C. Activate NFC.
• D. Use a USB cable.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as configuring a hotspot allows the smartphone to share its 4G internet connection wirelessly with the laptop. Setting up a VPN (A) is irrelevant in this scenario; activating NFC (C) does not facilitate internet sharing, and using a USB cable (D) may not provide internet access unless specifically configured for tethering.
