Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

Verified Boot in ChromeOS is a security mechanism that checks the integrity of the operating system during startup. If it detects any unauthorized modifications or compromises, it can initiate recovery processes to restore the OS to a known good state, ensuring that the device boots up with a secure and untampered operating system.

Option B is incorrect because background updates are a separate feature.

Option C is incorrect because dual-boot is not related to Verified Boot.

Option D is incorrect because Verified Boot doesn't install a backup OS but verifies the existing one.

A) It ensures that the OS is uncompromised - Bingo! Verified boot is all about making sure your Chrome OS is rock solid and hasn't been tampered with. Gotta keep those hackers out, am I right?

B) It allows updates to happen in the background - Hmm, that's not quite it. I think the verified boot is more about ensuring the integrity of the OS, not the update process.
