Locus of Control is a control for situations or external influences, in this particular example, Kristin has no choice of brand, but her department use a software that only works with Apple computers, in this case, she needs an Apple computer for this external factor, when someone wants to buy a new car, is this person live in a mountain, he cannot buy a small car, he needs a 4x4.
Fault Tolerance basically refers to the feature or capability of a system to keeps on working and performing its operations without interruption in case of a failure.
This failure can be the failure of one or more of its components.
This is beneficial as the system does not stop working or fail completely.
It provides copies of the same system or backup components which can be used when the existing system fails and prevents the loss of information and services.
Accessibility refers to provide equal services for everyone who uses a system. So its not a correct option.
Moore’s law states that the computing speed and power will double every two years so its not a correct option as well.
Anti virus is a software to identify, prevent and remove viruses and malware so it is not a correct option as well.
