CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1101) — Question 50

A user reports a cell phone is getting hot. Which of the following are MOST likely to be possible causes? (Choose three.)

Answer options

• A. Using the device as a Wi-Fi hotspot
• B. A cracked screen
• C. A failing battery
• D. Less than 15% free storage space on the phone
• E. Privileged control
• F. Recurring prompts to install OS updates
• G. Granting too many application camera permissions
• H. Too many open applications

Correct answer: A, C, H

Explanation

The correct answers are A, C, and H because using the device as a Wi-Fi hotspot can cause it to overheat due to increased processing, a failing battery can generate excessive heat, and having too many open applications can lead to high CPU usage. The other options, while they may cause issues, are less likely to directly result in the device overheating.
