Why may a central processing unit reduce its speed when overheating?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: To protect the hardware from excessive heat

A CPU may use thermal throttling when its temperature becomes too high. It deliberately lowers its clock speed and may reduce performance so that less heat is produced, protecting the processor and nearby components from damage. Therefore, option A is correct. The other choices are unrelated: CPU throttling does not increase printer speed, compress files, or strengthen an internet signal. Improving airflow or removing dust addresses the underlying cooling problem.
