CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1101) — Question 203

A technician is setting up three web servers for a retail company that takes online orders for its products. Which of the following network host services should the technician use to ensure the servers’ resources will be utilized efficiently?

Answer options

• A. UTM appliance
• B. AAA server
• C. Spam gateway
• D. Load balancer

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, Load balancer, as it distributes incoming traffic across multiple servers, ensuring efficient use of resources and preventing any single server from becoming overwhelmed. Options A (UTM appliance), B (AAA server), and C (Spam gateway) do not focus on resource distribution among servers and are not suited for this specific task.
