ITPEC IP October 2019 — Question 11 of 100
A peripheral normally needs a device driver, and plug and play can install or configure that driver automatically. The driver lets the operating system communicate with the particular hardware, while plug and play detects supported devices and performs the required setup.
Answer (a)
Why not others:
- a plug-in extends an application and is not automatic hardware configuration
- malware is malicious software and is never required for legitimate peripheral operation
Key rule: Device drivers control hardware; plug and play detects compatible hardware and automates installation and configuration.
