    The correct answer is B. When using a multimeter to measure the voltage output

    Explanation:

    Similar to other technological devices computers work due to electrical energy or electricity, this type of energy source allows the computer to work but represents a hazard in the case you are manipulating or touching the inside of a computer. Due to this, the inside of a computer that is turned on should not be touche because this can cause electricity to flow in your body leading to a shock.

    This applies to most situations including disassembling or reassembling a computer; however, this is necessary and fine in case you use a multimeter (instrument to measure voltage, and current) because electricity needs to flow to know the voltage and whether there is a problem with the computer. Also, in this case, it is the multimeter the one that has direct contact rather than the technician or individual's hand, and therefore it is safe.
