CompTIA ITF+ (FC0-U61) — Question 170

Which of the following would a company consider an asset?

Answer options

• A. An external company used to destroy defective hard drives
• B. Information residing on backup tapes
• C. A company-sponsored technology conference
• D. A certified third-party vendor that provides critical components

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Option B is correct because information on backup tapes is considered an asset as it is valuable data that the company needs to operate effectively. The other options, while potentially important, do not represent tangible or intangible assets in the same way; for instance, A and C relate to services or events rather than company-owned resources.
