CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 797

An administrator notices that after contact with several switches in an MDF they failed due to electrostatic discharge. Which of the following sensors should the administrator deploy to BEST monitor static electricity conditions in the MDF?

Answer options

• A. Temperature
• B. Humidity
• C. Smoke
• D. Electrical

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as humidity levels are critical in preventing static electricity buildup; higher humidity reduces static charge. Options A, C, and D do not directly monitor conditions that lead to electrostatic discharge, making them less relevant for this specific issue.
