220-1002 Question #516: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

The correct answer is B: Unauthorized location tracking. The device loses connectivity only in specific geographic areas despite cellular signal being present. This pattern - location-dependent connectivity loss - is consistent with unauthorized location tracking software (stalkerware or malicious MDM profiles) that may use geofencing

Question

A user's mobile device appears to lose connectivity only in certain areas. The device works normally when it is not in those areas, and the user has determined that a cellular signal is available in the areas where the connectivity is lost. Which of the following should be considered?

Options

  • AUnintended W1F1 connection
  • BUnauthorized location tracking
  • CData transmission over set limit
  • DUnintended Bluetooth pairing

Explanation

The device loses connectivity only in specific geographic areas despite cellular signal being present. This pattern - location-dependent connectivity loss - is consistent with unauthorized location tracking software (stalkerware or malicious MDM profiles) that may use geofencing to restrict or redirect connectivity based on where the device is located. An unintended Wi-Fi connection (A) could cause this too, but that would typically be diagnosed first and the question implies a security angle. Data over limit (C) would be a global issue, not area-specific. Bluetooth pairing (D) does not affect cellular or Wi-Fi connectivity.
