CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1102) — Question 62

A help desk technician runs the following script: Inventory.py. The technician receives the following error message:
How do you want to open this file?
Which of the following is the MOST likely reason this script is unable to run?

Answer options

• A. Scripts are not permitted to run.
• B. The script was not built for Windows.
• C. The script requires administrator privileges.
• D. The runtime environment is not installed.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because the error suggests that the system does not know how to execute the script, indicating that the required runtime environment is not installed. Option A is incorrect as scripts can run under proper conditions, B is wrong since the script may not necessarily be OS-specific, and C is not the cause here, as scripts can often run without administrator privileges.
