CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) — Question 182

A technician is trying to encrypt a single folder on a PC. Which of the following should the technician use to accomplish this task?

Answer options

• A. FAT32
• B. exFAT
• C. BitLocker
• D. EFS

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, EFS (Encrypting File System), which is specifically designed to encrypt files and folders on NTFS file systems. Options A and B, FAT32 and exFAT, do not support file encryption features. BitLocker, while effective for full disk encryption, does not specifically target individual folders.
