CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) — Question 378

Which of the following items require special e-waste recycling? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Solid-state drive
• B. A/C adapter
• C. Surge protector
• D. Laptop battery
• E. CRT monitor
• F. Power supply

Correct answer: D, E

Explanation

Laptop batteries and CRT monitors contain hazardous materials that can be harmful to the environment if not recycled properly, which is why they require special e-waste recycling. The other items listed, while they should still be disposed of responsibly, do not pose the same level of environmental risk and typically do not require specialized recycling processes.
