CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) — Question 260

Which of the following would MOST likely be used to extend the life of a device?

Answer options

• A. Battery backup
• B. Electrostatic discharge mat
• C. Proper ventilation
• D. Green disposal

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Proper ventilation is essential for maintaining optimal operating temperatures, which helps prevent overheating and extends the life of a device. Battery backup provides power during outages but doesn't directly impact the device's longevity. An electrostatic discharge mat protects components from static damage, while green disposal is related to the environmentally friendly disposal of devices and does not contribute to their lifespan.
