CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1201) — Question 177

Which of the following uses a small and portable private network to allow multiple wireless devices to share an internet connection?

Answer options

• A. Bluetooth
• B. Hotspot
• C. Tethering
• D. NFC

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as a hotspot creates a portable network that allows multiple devices to access the internet. Option A, Bluetooth, is primarily for short-range data transfer, not internet sharing. Option C, Tethering, typically connects a device to the internet through another device rather than creating a separate network. Option D, NFC, is used for very short-range communication and does not provide internet connectivity.
