Question #:3 - - [Networking] (Exam Topic 1) Which DNS record is used by DMARC to verify the authenticity of email servers? MX CNAME TXT A Answer: C Explanation CompTIA A+ explains that DMARC (Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting, and Conformance) relies on TXT DNS records to define its policies. TXT records allow administrators to publish arbitrary text- based configuration data, including DKIM and SPF policies, which DMARC references. MX records identify mail servers, A records map IP addresses, and CNAME records create aliases none are used to store DMARC policy rules. DMARC improves email authenticity by requiring SPF and DKIM alignment and specifying how receiving servers should handle failed validations. The A+ exam explicitly mentions TXT records as the method used for SPF, DKIM, and DMARC storage. Therefore, the correct answer is the TXT record, which stores the policy used by DMARC to authenticate senders and prevent spoofing.

Question #:4 - - [Hardware] (Exam Topic 1) A user experiences a random BSOD while using a computer, but the operating system recovers as expected Which of the following symptoms would indicate the issue is related to RAM? Wrong BIOS configurations Continuous reboots Distended capacitors POST code beeps Answer: D Explanation D. POST Code Beeps: During the Power-On Self-Test (POST), the BIOS performs checks on system hardware, including RAM. If the RAM is faulty, POST may produce a series of beep codes indicating memory issues. These beep codes are often the first sign of RAM-related problems, especially if the BSOD occurs randomly. Incorrect Options: A. Wrong BIOS configurations: Incorrect BIOS settings may cause boot errors, but they are less likely to cause random BSODs. B. Continuous reboots: Continuous reboots could result from multiple hardware or software issues but do not specifically point to RAM. C. Distended capacitors: Faulty capacitors typically affect the motherboard, not the RAM. Key Takeaway: POST beep codes are a common diagnostic tool for identifying RAM-related issues. Reference: CompTIA A+ Core 1 Exam Objectives (220-1201), Domain 5.2 – Troubleshooting RAM and motherboard issues. Question #:5 - - [Hardware] (Exam Topic 1) A user is testing a new OS that is contained on a USB drive. The user wants the new OS to load automatically when the computer is turned on. Which of the following should the user configure? BIOS password Trusted Platform Module USB permissions CompTIA - 220-1201 Pass Exam 5 of 27 Verified Solution - 100% Result D. Boot options Answer: D Explanation To boot from a USB drive, the user must configure the boot order in the system BIOS/UEFI to prioritize the USB device. This setting tells the computer to load the operating system from the USB device on startup. From CompTIA A+ 220-1101 Official Study Guide, Objective 3.5 – Configure BIOS/UEFI settings: “The boot order determines the sequence in which the system firmware attempts to find an OS to boot. Setting USB as the first boot device allows the computer to boot from a USB drive.” Verified Source: CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1101) Official Study Guide, Chapter 3: BIOS/UEFI Configuration CompTIA Exam Objectives 220-1101, Domain 3.5 ============ CompTIA - 220-1201 Pass Exam 6 of 27 Verified Solution - 100% Result Topic 2, Simulation Performance Based Questions Question #:6 - - [Hardware and Network Troubleshooting] (Exam Topic 2) User at site A is reporting dropped VolP calls when using a softphone application.
