Why each option

Loose cables around a newly installed computer pose a significant tripping hazard and can lead to accidental disconnections or equipment damage. Bundling them with ties effectively reduces these physical safety risks.

AVerify all connections are seated properly.

Verifying connections ensures functionality but does not directly address the physical safety hazard of loose cables themselves.

BAvoid placing other computers nearby.

Avoiding placing other computers nearby might be for space or heat, but it does not directly reduce tripping hazards.

CBundle loose cables with zip ties or Velcro straps.Correct

Loose cables can create tripping hazards for individuals walking nearby, potentially leading to falls or damage to equipment if cables are snagged. Bundling them with zip ties or Velcro straps neatly manages cabling, significantly reducing these physical safety risks.

DAttach all peripherals to the computer.

Attaching all peripherals is necessary for functionality, but if the cables remain loose, it does not reduce the safety hazard.
