CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1101) — Question 471

An IT technician is inspecting the internal components of a desktop computer to assess a suspected power issue with the motherboard. Which of the following connectors should the IT technician inspect further?

Answer options

• A. RJ45
• B. Straight tip
• C. DB9
• D. Molex

Correct answer: D

Explanation
