What problem can occur by turning off a computer by directly cutting power?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Open work or system may be affected
A sudden power cut can discard unsaved work because applications do not get time to save data and close properly. It may also interrupt system operations and, in some cases, contribute to file-system problems. The safer practice is to save work and use the operating system’s Shut Down command, except in an emergency when normal control is unavailable. The other choices are unrelated.
