D)Power management

Accepted Answer

When reading and responding to emails, you are not using any high-performance applications that require a lot of processing power. The Power saver plan is designed to conserve energy by reducing the computer's performance and minimizing unnecessary activities such as updating programs or running background services. Therefore, the Power saver plan is the optimal match for this situation.

A)PLA
B)NLA
C)CLA
D)MLA

Accepted Answer

NLA (Network Level Authentication) is a security feature that requires authentication before a remote desktop session can be established. It verifies the identity of the user and the remote system before establishing a connection, making it more difficult for hackers or malware to gain access to the remote computer. Therefore, choosing option B is the best choice for this scenario.

As part of the process of financing your video project, you construct an incredibly sophisticated Excel spreadsheet with all of the necessary budget and funding information for your production. Which of the following power plans is the optimal match for this activity?
A)Balanced
B)High performance
C)Power saver
D)Multimedia

Accepted Answer

The high performance plan is the optimal match for this activity because it provides the maximum power available to the computer, which is needed when running resource-intensive programs like Excel spreadsheets. This plan maintains a balanced approach between performance and energy consumption, making it the best fit for users who need their computer to operate at peak performance for extended periods of time. The balanced plan is a close second as it provides sufficient power to operate Excel spreadsheets without overcompensating and draining the battery unnecessarily. The power saver plan should be avoided as it lowers the performance of the computer to conserve energy, which could cause Excel to run slower or become unresponsive. The multimedia plan is intended for users who perform tasks requiring enhanced media playback and is not designed for running Excel spreadsheets. Hence, the best match for this activity is B) High performance.
