CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1201) — Question 55

A computer displays an error message indicating there is insufficient storage when installing applications. The user reports slow application load times. Which of the following replacement components would best resolve this issue?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

An SSD (Solid State Drive) would significantly improve storage speed and application load times compared to traditional HDDs (Hard Disk Drives). While RAM is important for performance, the core issue is insufficient storage space, which an SSD directly resolves. USB drives are not suitable for primary storage in this context.
