CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1202) — Question 79

Which of the following is a reason to keep the air temperature and humidity level within proper limits in environments with multiple active computers and peripherals?

Answer options

• A. To inhibit power surges
• B. To control dust
• C. To reduce fire risks
• D. To prevent static discharge

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Maintaining proper air temperature and humidity is crucial to prevent static discharge, which can damage sensitive computer components. While inhibiting power surges, controlling dust, and reducing fire risks are also important, they are not directly linked to the humidity and temperature management as static electricity is.
