CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 164

A corporate client is experiencing global system outages. The IT team has identified multiple potential underlying causes throughout the enterprise. Each team member has been assigned an area to troubleshoot. Which of the following approaches is being used?

Answer options

• A. Divide-and-conquer
• B. Top-to-bottom
• C. Bottom-to-top
• D. Determine if anything changed

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, Divide-and-conquer, because the team is breaking down the larger problem into smaller, manageable parts for each member to address. Options B and C suggest a different methodology of tackling issues holistically or sequentially, which does not align with the current strategy. Option D, while it could be part of troubleshooting, does not reflect the systematic division of responsibilities among the team members.
