CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1101) — Question 178

A user is installing a new display on a desktop computer that only has a single DVI port for video input and a single HDMI port for video output. Which of the following does the technician need to complete the setup?

Answer options

• A. Digital-to-analog converter
• B. A/V switcher
• C. DisplayPort to HDMI adapter
• D. DVI to HDMI cable

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, a DVI to HDMI cable, as it allows the connection between the DVI output from the desktop and the HDMI input on the display. The other options, such as a Digital-to-analog converter or an A/V switcher, are not necessary for this direct connection, and a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter is irrelevant since there is no DisplayPort involved.
