A user is unable to use a drawing stylus on a smartphone. The smartphone did not originally come with a stylus. Which of the following is the most likely cause of this issue?

Answer options

• A. The phone needs to be updated to the latest OS.
• B. The drawing stylus only works with a special digitizer.
• C. The stylus must be re-paired to this new device.
• D. The phone's screen only supports resistive styluses.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because drawing styluses are often designed to work with specific digitizers that recognize their input. Options A, C, and D are incorrect as they do not address the compatibility issue between the stylus and the smartphone's hardware.
