D.

Answers
D.
Upgrade the amount of RAM in the computer.
Suggested answer: D

Explanation:

Upgrading the RAM in the computer can significantly mitigate the potential for SSD failures for users who run many programs simultaneously. When a system runs out of RAM, it uses a portion of the SSD as virtual memory, which can increase the wear and tear on the SSD due to excessive read and write operations. By increasing the RAM, the system can accommodate more programs in the physical memory, reducing reliance on the SSD for virtual memory and hence reducing the wear on the SSD. This approach aligns with best practices for ensuring system stability and longevity, as indicated in the CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1101) Exam Objectives under sections 3.2 'Given a scenario install the appropriate RAM' and 5.0 'Hardware and Network Troubleshooting' .
