Answer: A - Surge protectors are passive devices that are used to protect electrical components from spikes in the power line.

Key Takeaway: A surge suppressor is a device inserted in the AC utility line and/or telephone line to prevent damage to electronic equipment from voltage spikes called transients. A surge suppressor prevents the peak AC voltage from going above a certain threshold. UPS is a backup power system that utilizes batteries to provide short-term power when a power loss is detected.
