CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) — Question 149

Which of the following physical security controls can prevent laptops from being stolen?

Answer options

• A. Encryption
• B. LoJack
• C. Multifactor authentication
• D. Equipment lock
• E. Bollards

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, Equipment lock, because it physically secures the laptop to a stationary object, making it difficult to steal. Options A (Encryption) and C (Multifactor authentication) are software-based security measures that do not prevent physical theft. Option B (LoJack) is a tracking solution that helps recover stolen devices but does not stop theft in the first place, while E (Bollards) are barriers that protect physical areas rather than specific devices.
