Which of the following is the BEST reason for placing a password lock on a mobile device?
A. Prevents an unauthorized user from accessing owner’s data B. Enables remote wipe capabilities C. Stops an unauthorized user from using the device again D. Prevents an unauthorized user from making phone calls
Answer: A
Explanation: A password lock on a mobile device is used to prevent an unauthorized user from accessing owner’s data. When a device is turned off either by being manually switched off or by automatically turning off after a timeout, the device will automatically lock. When you turn the device on, you are prompted to enter a password or numeric code to gain access to the device.
