What will happen to any unsaved data on a computer in standby mode, when there is Power failure?
  1. The data is saved by default.
  2. Data will be lost if a power failure occurs while the computer is in Standby.
  3. Data can be recovered from the temporary files.
  4. Data will be saved if a power failure occurs while the computer is in Standby.
Explanation
Answer: B - When a computer is in the standby mode and power fails, all data will be lost.

Key Takeaway: In standby mode, the computer cuts the power to the hard drive and the monitor. All data that you are working on will be stored in the RAM. Since RAM is volatile, all data will be lost if the power goes off. As a precaution, you might want to save the data before putting your computer in this mode or use Hibernate instead.
