CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1101) — Question 227

A systems administrator is working to ensure access to corporate laptops is limited to authorized users. The administrator has already implemented a password policy. Which of the following would be the best option to help the administrator secure the corporate resources?

Answer options

• A. Trusted Platform Module
• B. Biometric scanner
• C. Laptop lock
• D. Encryption

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The best option is B, a biometric scanner, as it provides a unique method of authentication that is difficult to replicate, ensuring that only authorized users can access the laptops. While a Trusted Platform Module (A) enhances security, it does not directly control user access. A laptop lock (C) can prevent theft but does not verify user identity, and encryption (D) secures data but does not control access to the device itself.
