Operating Systems Practice Question
Question
A learner is comparing two similar concepts for the CompTIA A+ involving least privilege in Operating Systems. Which option best reduces risk or error? (Item 114)
Answer choices
- A. Use the most complex option even when a simpler compliant action directly solves the problem.
- B. The best answer is to identify the most practical troubleshooting step, configuration choice, or operational procedure for a support technician for the least privilege scenario.
- C. Apply a rule from a different domain even though the exam objective is different.
- D. Choose the option that sounds familiar even if it does not fit the scenario.
Correct Answer
B. The best answer is to identify the most practical troubleshooting step, configuration choice, or operational procedure for a support technician for the least privilege scenario.
Explanation
The correct answer is B because least privilege is tested by asking candidates to identify the most practical troubleshooting step, configuration choice, or operational procedure for a support technician. The distractors reflect common exam mistakes: ignoring context, using informal shortcuts, skipping verification, or applying a rule from the wrong domain.
