ITIL 4 Foundation — Question 183

Which is the definition of an IT asset?

Answer options

• A. Any financially valuable component that contributes to a service
• B. Any request from a user that is a normal part of service delivery
• C. Any component that needs to be managed to deliver a service
• D. Any change of state that has significance for the management of a service

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because an IT asset specifically refers to components that have financial value and play a role in delivering services. Options B and D describe processes or changes relevant to service management but do not define an asset. Option C is too broad, as it includes components that may not necessarily have financial value.
