A user’s device is experiencing slow processing performance when multiple applications are running at the same time.
Which of the following components is causing this issue?
- A . Storage
- B . Motherboard
- C . NIC
- D . RAM
D
Explanation:
RAM allows multiple applications to run simultaneously. Insufficient RAM causes performance drops:
“When several applications are open, the system relies heavily on RAM for temporary storage of active processes.”
Storage, motherboard, or NIC do not directly handle temporary application memory while multitasking.
Reference: CompTIA ITF+ FC0-U71 Official Study Guide, Chapter 3 C Computing Components.
A user purchases a new router and wants to configure it.
Which of the following should the user change first?
- A . IP settings
- B . Channel
- C . Gateway
- D . Default password
Which of the following is commonly used to measure the RAM capacity of a smartphone?
- A . GB
- B . KB
- C . MB
- D . TB
A
Explanation:
RAM (Random Access Memory) in smartphones and computers is most commonly measured in gigabytes (GB) today. Typical smartphone RAM ranges from 2GB to 16GB depending on performance and price.
“Memory capacity in modern devices like smartphones is measured in gigabytes (GB), reflecting their need to support multitasking and app usage.” ― CompTIA ITF+ Official Resources
Other options:
KB and MB were used in earlier computing generations.
TB is used for storage, not RAM.
Correct answer: A
Which of the following is a default gateway in a home network?
- A . Firewall
- B . Switch
- C . Router
- D . Hypervisor
Which of the following is used to terminate a Cat 6 cable to an RJ45 connector?

A user wants to access books and does not need printed, physical copies. The solution should be portable and lightweight.
Which of the following is the best solution?
- A . E-reader
- B . Servers
- C . External drive
- D . Workstation
A
Explanation:
An e-reader is designed specifically for reading digital books in a portable, lightweight format:
“E-readers are mobile devices optimized for reading electronic books, offering portability, long battery life, and digital storage of thousands of titles.”
Servers, external drives, and workstations are either not portable or not designed for reading books.
Reference: CompTIA ITF+ FC0-U71 Official Study Guide, Chapter 4 C Computing Devices.
Which of the following can best protect a computer when an infected file has been downloaded?
- A . Anti-malware
- B . Firewall
- C . Patching
- D . Permissions
A
Explanation:
Anti-malware software is specifically designed to detect, quarantine, and remove malicious software from a system. It is the most appropriate tool for protecting a computer after a suspicious or infected file is downloaded.
“Anti-malware software scans downloaded files and running processes to identify and remove malicious software, providing real-time protection against viruses, trojans, and spyware.” ― CompTIA ITF+ Study Guide
Other options:
B. Firewall C Prevents unauthorized access but doesn’t clean infections
C. Patching C Prevents exploitation of known vulnerabilities, not infection removal
D. Permissions C Limit access but do not remove malware
Correct answer: A
A database administrator creates a new database and assigns the primary key.
Which of the following database types has the administrator created?
- A . Document
- B . Key/value
- C . Relational
- D . Non-structured
C
Explanation:
A relational database uses tables consisting of rows and columns where a primary key uniquely identifies each row (record). As stated in the CompTIA ITF+ FC0-U71 Official Study Guide:
"Relational databases store data in tables consisting of rows and columns. Each table has a primary key, which uniquely identifies each record."
"Document and key/value databases are types of NoSQL databases and do not use primary keys in the same structured tabular format."
Non-structured databases (like object storage or big data repositories) do not enforce primary keys.
Reference: CompTIA ITF+ FC0-U71 Official Study Guide, Chapter 7 C Database Fundamentals.
A user needs to securely access a remote network from home.
Which of the following should the user utilize for secure remote access?
- A . LAN
- B . FTP
- C . DNS
- D . VPN
D
Explanation:
A VPN (Virtual Private Network) creates a secure, encrypted connection over the internet between the user and a remote network, enabling secure access from home or public networks.
“VPNs provide a secure tunnel for transmitting data over unsecured networks, such as the internet, by encrypting all traffic between the client and the network.” ― CompTIA ITF+ Security Topics
Other options:
A manager wants to provide information to employees during a company meeting.
Which of the following types of software is the best solution?
- A . Word processing
- B . Visual diagramming
- C . Conferencing
- D . Presentation
D
Explanation:
Presentation software (e.g., Microsoft PowerPoint, Google Slides) is specifically designed to display information to an audience in a visual and organized format, making it ideal for meetings.
“Presentation software is used to create slide-based content that can be projected or shared in meetings to communicate ideas visually and effectively.” ― CompTIA ITF+ Study Guide
Correct answer: D
