Question

you need to replace a broken monitor on a desktop system. you decide to replace it with a spare monitor that wasnt being used. even though the monitor is made by a different manufacturer than the desktop computer, it still works with the computer. which computer design concept makes this possible?
( ) firmware
( ) plug and play
( ) complementation
( ) standardization

Explanation:

To determine the correct computer design concept, we analyze each option:

• Firmware: Refers to software embedded in hardware (like BIOS), not related to device compatibility when replacing a monitor.
• Plug and play: Allows devices to be connected and work without extensive manual configuration. A new monitor working with the computer without issues (even from a different manufacturer) aligns with plug - and - play, as the system automatically recognizes and configures the new device.
• Complementation: Not a standard computer design concept related to device compatibility for peripheral replacement.
• Standardization: While standards exist, the key here is the automatic recognition and configuration of the new device, which is more about plug - and - play than just following standards.

Answer:

B. Plug and play
