CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1101) — Question 345

Which of the following controls the flow of users connecting to web server farms and prevents overutilization on any individual server?

Answer options

• A. Firewall
• B. Honeypot
• C. Load balancer
• D. Spam gateway

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Load balancer, as it distributes incoming network traffic across multiple servers, ensuring no single server is overloaded. Options A (Firewall) and D (Spam gateway) serve different security purposes, while B (Honeypot) is used for deception and monitoring rather than load management.
