CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 318

A technician needs to deploy an operating system that would optimize server resources. Which of the following server installation methods would BEST meet this requirement?

Answer options

• A. Full
• B. Bare metal
• C. Core
• D. GUI

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The Core installation method provides a minimal environment, reducing resource usage by omitting unnecessary graphical interfaces and services. In contrast, Full and GUI installations require more resources due to additional components that may not be necessary for server operations, while Bare metal refers to the hardware itself rather than the installation method.
