Explanation

Two actions reduce battery drain: (A) Closing apps when finished frees CPU, memory, and background processes that consume power. (E) Connecting to the office WiFi network automatically reduces battery consumption because WiFi (especially 802.11 standards) uses significantly less power than maintaining a cellular (LTE/5G) radio connection. The wrong answers all increase battery drain: increasing screen-on time (B), increasing sync frequency (C), using maximum brightness (D), and disabling WiFi in favor of mobile data (F) all consume more power.
