The requirement is secure remote access to both Linux and Windows servers while working from home. A VPN is designed to securely extend internal network access across the public Internet. Quentin Docter states that a “virtual private network (VPN) extends your company’s internal network across the Internet,” allowing clients to connect “securely and privately,” and that it creates a secure tunnel “through the process of encryption and encapsulation,” making the remote host appear as part of the internal network with an internal IP.

Mike Meyers’ Lab Manual reinforces that VPNs work by “setting up an encrypted tunnel between the two points—over the open Internet—creating what we call a virtual private network (VPN),” enabling remote users to function as if they were plugged into the office LAN.

FTP is not secure by default and is file-transfer-only (not full network access). RDP is Windows-focused and provides a remote desktop session, not generalized secure access to mixed OS servers. RMM is a management platform for IT monitoring/maintenance, not the primary secure access method for end users. Therefore, VPN (B) best meets the requirement.

The correct answers are D. Use PIN authentication and F. Enable screen timeout, because both controls directly protect a mobile device from unauthorized physical access. Physical access controls are designed to prevent someone from using a device if it is lost, stolen, or left unattended.

According to the Quentin Docter – CompTIA A+ Complete Study Guide, mobile device security begins with lock-screen controls, such as PINs, passwords, biometrics, and automatic locking mechanisms. A PIN authentication requirement ensures that even if an attacker physically possesses the device, they cannot access its contents without the correct credentials.

The guide further explains that screen timeout (automatic locking after inactivity) is a critical security feature. Without it, a device left unattended—even briefly—could be accessed by unauthorized individuals. Enabling a short timeout greatly reduces this risk.

The Travis Everett & Andrew Hutz – All-in-One Exam Guide reinforces that VPNs and antivirus software protect data in transit and against malware, not physical access. Likewise, disabling hotspots and enabling location services are management or tracking features, not access prevention mechanisms.

The Mike Meyers / Mark Soper Lab Manual emphasizes that physical security controls focus on preventing interaction with the device itself, making PIN authentication and automatic screen locking the most effective measures.

Therefore, D and F are the correct answers.

Cryptominersexploit system resources to mine cryptocurrency, often without user consent, leading to high CPU and GPU usage.

FromQuentin Docter – CompTIA A+ Complete Study Guide:

“Cryptomining malware can cause significant performance degradation by monopolizing system resources like CPU and GPU to mine digital currency.”

The correct answer is D. Continuity. Continuity is an Apple ecosystem feature category that allows Apple devices to work together, such as moving activity between devices or integrating nearby Apple hardware. Among the choices, it is the feature most likely to rely on short-range wireless communication such as Bluetooth, often along with Wi-Fi and iCloud. The A+ materials identify Bluetooth as a personal-area-network technology used for nearby device communication, pairing, and synchronization. The Mike Meyers/Mark Soper material also explains that mobile devices commonly expand and communicate wirelessly through Bluetooth with nearby accessories and devices. Terminal is a command-line interface, not a Bluetooth feature. Gestures are touchpad or touchscreen motions used for input. Mission Control is a macOS interface feature for viewing open windows and desktops. Continuity is the only listed feature that strongly depends on communication between nearby Apple devices.
