CompTIA Updated FC0-U71 Exam Questions and Answers by mikolaj

NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express) drives are high-speed storage devices that commonly use the M.2 form factor. M.2 allows for compact design and direct connection to the motherboard.

“M.2 is a compact form factor used for high-speed NVMe and SATA SSDs, enabling faster storage access in modern systems.” — CompTIA ITF+ Hardware Overview

Correct answer: A

Tablets typically connect to wireless networks using Wi-Fi, which adheres to the IEEE 802.11 standard (often seen as 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax). The correct protocol family for this type of connection is 802.11X (referring to Wi-Fi technologies broadly).

“Wireless devices such as tablets use the 802.11 standards to connect to Wi-Fi access points for network connectivity.” — CompTIA ITF+

Other options:

B. Thunderbolt and D. USB-C – Wired connection standards

C. Bluetooth – Short-range peripheral communication, not Wi-Fi

Correct answer: A

According to the CompTIA Tech+ Study Guide (Exam FC0-U71, 3rd Edition, 2025):

“A router is a highly intelligent network connectivity device that can connect multiple network types to each other. Routers use routing tables to store network addresses and route packets based on the best path available.”

It further clarifies:

“Wireless routers are common in homes and offices. Functionally, wireless routers work just like their wired cousins.”

The default gateway in a home network is the router, as it serves as the device that connects the internal local area network (LAN) to the external Internet.

Task management tools such as Task Manager in Windows or Activity Monitor in macOS allow users to monitor running applications and processes. They also provide the functionality to force-close (end) applications that are not responding.

“Task Manager provides a way to close applications that are unresponsive and manage running processes.” — CompTIA ITF+ Official Guide

Correct answer: A
