Operating Systems Practice Question
Question
A real-world workflow requires a practical decision for the CompTIA A+ involving least privilege in Operating Systems. Which option best reduces risk or error? (Item 74)
Answer choices
- A. Choose the option that sounds familiar even if it does not fit the scenario.
- 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. Use the most complex option even when a simpler compliant action directly solves the problem.
- D. Apply a rule from a different domain even though the exam objective is different.
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.
