CompTIA Security+ (SY0-501) — Question 667

A transitive trust:

Answer options

• A. is automatically established between a parent and a child
• B. is used to update DNS records
• C. allows access to untrusted domains
• D. can be used in place of a hardware token for logins

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as a transitive trust is indeed automatically created between a parent domain and its child domains, facilitating resource sharing. Options B, C, and D do not accurately describe the nature of a transitive trust, as they refer to unrelated concepts such as DNS management and authentication methods.
