CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) — Question 238

A technician is attempting to mitigate micro power outages, which occur frequently within the area of operation. The outages are usually short, with the longest occurrence lasting five minutes. Which of the following should the technician use to mitigate this issue?

Answer options

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as a Battery backup (UPS) provides temporary power during short outages, allowing devices to continue operating. A Surge suppressor protects against voltage spikes but does not provide power during an outage. A CMOS battery is used to maintain BIOS settings and has no impact on power outages. A Generator backup is typically used for longer outages, making it less suitable for the brief interruptions described.
