CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1101) — Question 180

A technician who works in a high-security environment needs to set up a laptop with triple monitors for a new security employee. All USB ports are disabled due to security policies. Which of the following should the technician do to BEST meet the requirements?

Answer options

• A. Install a splitter cable.
• B. Install a discrete graphics card.
• C. Use an HDMI switch.
• D. Implement a docking station.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Using a docking station is the best option as it typically provides multiple video output ports, allowing the connection of multiple monitors without relying on USB ports. A splitter cable and HDMI switch may not support three monitors effectively, and a discrete graphics card might not be feasible if the laptop does not support hardware changes.
