CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) — Question 275

Application software systems can no longer receive updates and security patches, and continuing to use the application software might expose the system to attacks. Which of the following best describes this scenario?

Answer options

• A. SLA
• B. Licensing
• C. SIEM
• D. EOL

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is EOL, which stands for End of Life, indicating that the software is no longer supported. SLA (Service Level Agreement) pertains to service expectations, Licensing involves the legal rights to use software, and SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) relates to security management rather than software lifecycle status.
