Question 3
An IT specialist compares Bluetooth and NFC technologies for mobile device connectivity. Which of
the following statements accurately describes a key difference between the two?
Correct Answer: D
Explanation:
NFC (Near-Field Communication)operates atvery short ranges — usually less than 4cm, and is ideal for quick, secure transactions like contactless payments.Bluetoothsupportslonger ranges (up to 10 meters or 32 feet)and is suited for ongoing connections like wireless headsets or file transfers. Option A:Bluetooth is faster for large file transfers. Option B:NFC usesless power, not more. Option C:NFC doesnotrequire pairing — Bluetooth does. CompTIA A+ Core 1 Exam Objective Reference:
Objective 1.5: Given a scenario, connect and configure accessories and ports of mobile devices.
