CompTIA IT Fundamentals (FC0-U51) — Question 19

Which of the following features of a smartphone controls the screen orientation?

Answer options

• A. Gyroscope
• B. NFC
• C. Accelerometer
• D. GPS

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The gyroscope is essential for detecting the orientation of the smartphone's screen, allowing for changes in display based on how the device is held. While the accelerometer also plays a role in orientation by sensing motion, the gyroscope provides more precise angular movement data. NFC and GPS do not influence screen orientation at all.
