Missing slot covers on a computer can cause?

A. over heat

B. power surges

C. EMI.

D. incomplete path for ESD

E. None of the above

Answer: Option D

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Missing slot covers on a computer can cause an incomplete path for ESD (Electrostatic Discharge).
Slot covers are designed to shield internal components from ESD, which can damage sensitive electronic circuits.
When slot covers are missing, there is a gap in the enclosure, allowing for easier access of static electricity to sensitive components such as expansion cards.
This increases the risk of ESD damage to the components, which can lead to malfunctions or permanent hardware failure.
Issues such as overheating, power surges, or electromagnetic interference (EMI) are not directly caused by missing slot covers.
Therefore, the correct option is an incomplete path for ESD.
