CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1201) — Question 40

A technician is troubleshooting a laptop's connectivity via its USB-C port to a projector. The same laptop works well when it is connected to a USB-C docking station. The projector is configured as expected, and the USB-C cable was tested on a charging port. Which of the following could be the issue?

Answer options

• A. The USB-C cable requires a power injector
• B. The USB-C cable is not compatible with Thunderbolt technology.
• C. The USB-C cable needs an adapter to work with the laptop.
• D. The USB-C cable does not support enough power.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because some USB-C cables are not designed to support Thunderbolt technology, which is necessary for certain high-bandwidth devices like projectors. The other options are incorrect because they suggest issues that are not supported by the information given, such as needing a power injector or an adapter, which do not apply in this case.
