Answers
D.
External hard drive
Suggested answer: A

Explanation:

A mobile phone is the most likely device that is causing this message, because it can be plugged into a USB port for charging or data transfer, and then unplugged when the user leaves the workstation. A mobile phone may also not be detected by the file audits, as it may not have any files stored on the workstation or may use encryption or password protection. A mouse, a scanner, and an external hard drive are less likely to be plugged and unplugged frequently, and they would also leave traces of their presence in the file audits or device manager.Reference:CompTIA IT Fundamentals+ FC0-U61 Cert Guide, Chapter 3: Device Ports and Peripherals, page 77;CompTIA IT Fundamentals+ (Exam FC0-U61) Module 4 / Unit 2 / Connecting to a Network, page 6;How to identify USB Ports in Device Manager?
