CompTIA CASP+ (CAS-003) — Question 147

Which of the following may indicate a configuration item has reached end-of-life?

Answer options

• A. The device will no longer turn on and indicated an error.
• B. The vendor has not published security patches recently.
• C. The object has been removed from the Active Directory.
• D. Logs show a performance degradation of the component.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Option B is correct because a lack of recent security patches from the vendor often signifies that the product is no longer being supported, which is a clear indicator of it reaching end-of-life. The other options, while they may indicate issues with the device or component, do not specifically imply that the product has reached end-of-life status.
