CompTIA Network+ (N10-009) — Question 486

Which of the following source control features allows an administrator to test a new configuration without changing the primary configuration?

Answer options

• A. Central repository
• B. Conflict identification
• C. Branching
• D. Version control

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Branching, which allows administrators to create a separate line of development for testing new configurations without affecting the primary setup. The other options do not provide the same capability; for example, a Central repository is simply a storage location, Conflict identification helps in managing changes but does not create separate configurations, and Version control manages changes over time but does not inherently allow for testing without impacting the main configuration.
