CV0-003 · Question #235

A technician receives a report of system utilization: Which of the following additional resources should the technician add FIRST given the trend data shown above?

The correct answer is B. Disk. When trend data shows disk utilization approaching capacity or growing rapidly, adding disk storage is the priority before the system runs out of space and causes failures.

Why each option

When trend data shows disk utilization approaching capacity or growing rapidly, adding disk storage is the priority before the system runs out of space and causes failures.

ACPU

CPU utilization trending high would indicate processor bottleneck, but the trend data points to disk as the critical resource needing attention first.

BDiskCorrect

Disk storage is a finite resource that causes immediate service disruption when exhausted - unlike CPU or RAM contention which degrades performance, a full disk can cause writes to fail, crash applications, and corrupt data. Trend data showing disk utilization climbing toward capacity requires proactive expansion before the threshold is reached.

CBandwidth

Bandwidth expansion would address network throughput issues, not the storage capacity concern indicated by the trend data.

DRAM

RAM addition addresses memory pressure and paging issues, which is not the primary concern shown in the utilization trend.
