Question

Which of the following paths would a technician use to map a network drive?

Options

A//servername\usershare
B\servername\usershare
C\servername/usershare
D//servername/usershare

Explanation

Windows uses the Universal Naming Convention (UNC) format for network paths, which requires two backslashes before the server name followed by a single backslash before the share name: \servername\sharename. Backslashes are the Windows standard path separator. Options using forward slashes (A, C, D) follow URL or Unix-style conventions and are not valid UNC paths for mapping network drives in Windows. Option A uses forward slashes throughout, option C mixes separators incorrectly, and option D uses forward slashes throughout. Only option B uses the correct double-backslash prefix and backslash separator required by Windows for UNC paths.
