What type of reboot occurs when the technician uses the operating system to reboot?

Hard
Soft
Sudden
Immediate

Explanation

Answer: B - A soft reboot occurs when the technician uses the operating system to reboot.

A soft reboot should always be used as long as the computer is responsive. A hard reboot cuts power abruptly to the machine, but it can damage the hard drive. A software reboot allows the machine to shut down programs and reset the hard drive to avoid damage.
