Explanation

CompTIA's six-step troubleshooting methodology ends with: 1) Identify the problem, 2) Establish a theory of probable cause, 3) Test the theory, 4) Establish a plan of action and implement the solution, 5) Verify full system functionality and implement preventive measures, 6) Document findings, actions, and outcomes. The technician has already identified the problem (step 1), formed a theory (faulty display), tested it (replaced the display), and verified the fix worked. The only remaining step is to document the resolution (A) for future reference. The other choices represent steps already completed earlier in the process.
