CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) — Question 111

A malicious file was executed automatically when a flash drive was plugged in. Which of the following features would prevent this type of incident?

Answer options

• A. Disabling UAC
• B. Restricting local administrators
• C. Enabling UPnP
• D. Turning off AutoPlay

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as disabling AutoPlay prevents files from executing automatically when external media is connected. Options A and B do not address automatic execution of files, and option C pertains to network device discovery, which is unrelated to USB drive behavior.
