[All 220-1101 Questions]

Which of the following can a user utilize to share their mobile phone connection with their laptop?

AIR

BNFC

CWi-Fi Direct

DTethering

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

Tethering refers to sharing a mobile phone's internet connection with another device, such as a laptop, either through USB, Bluetooth, or Wi-Fi. Tethering effectively turns the mobile phone into a personal hotspot for internet access.

Option A (IR): Incorrect. Infrared (IR) is used for short-range communication, such as remote controls, but it does not support internet sharing.

Option B (NFC): Incorrect. Near-field communication (NFC) is used for close-proximity data transfer, not for internet sharing.

Option C (Wi-Fi Direct): Incorrect. Wi-Fi Direct enables device-to-device communication but does not inherently provide internet sharing.

I'm gonna have to go with option D. Tethering is the way to go if you want a reliable connection. Plus, it's like the tech equivalent of giving your laptop a piggyback ride.

NFC and IR wouldn't be as practical for sharing a mobile phone connection.
