CompTIA ITF+ (FC0-U61) — Question 173

A user wants to ensure port 3389 is open for remote desktop on a PC. Which of the following describes where the user should verify the port is open?

Answer options

• A. Antivirus
• B. Anti-malware
• C. Device Manager
• D. Host firewall

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, Host firewall, as this is where inbound and outbound port settings are typically managed to allow or block traffic. Options A and B, Antivirus and Anti-malware, focus on detecting and preventing malicious software rather than managing network ports. Option C, Device Manager, is used for managing hardware devices and drivers, not network port settings.
