✑ Option B:A software update might fix OS-related issues, but would not typically
affect physical charging.
✑ Option C:If some devices had defects, the issue would likely be consistent, not isolated to some users.
✑ Option D:Firmware issues could be a factor but are less likely than physical obstructions when users are using different accessories.

Which of the following can a user utilize to share their mobile phone connection with their laptop?
Correct Answer:D
Tethering refers to sharing a mobile phone??s internet connection with another device, such as a laptop, either through USB, Bluetooth, or Wi-Fi. Tethering effectively turns the mobile phone into a personal hotspot for internet access.

Option B (NFC): Incorrect. Near-field communication (NFC) is used for close-proximity data transfer, not for internet sharing.
Option C (Wi-Fi Direct): Incorrect. Wi-Fi Direct enables device-to-device communication but does not inherently provide internet sharing.
