A server administrator is deploying a UPS at a datacenter and notices the device is making an audible beep every few seconds. Which of the following is the MOST likely cause?

The correct answer is C. The battery is faulty. If you've lost power, it's beeping to let you know that the battery is in use, and that you should save your work and shut down your computer. A constant beep (every second or two, and never stopping) generally means the UPS is very low on battery power, and you should shut down
