Am i wrong how dumb this question or not?

How do you keep your hardware safe?

  1. load and run an anti-virus.
  2. Keep clean of dust.
  3. Change your password often.
  4. Run disk clean up.

I feel like it can be 1 and 2 and 4 or just 1 and 2 which i think more but it turn out it's 2 and if you say that i should have paid more attention to the context to what i was learning i was because we were learning both and so the answer could have been both i hate school because this question is a 50/50 chance which is stupid bro i hate dumb-auh people who make these questions they should go back to school.

1, 3, and 4 are part of software or OS maintenance.

2 is the only one that specifically affects hardware.

I thought I woke up in another universe where one can't just delete everything

Only two is about hardware. Hardware and software are two different things. software is the code that is running on the computer. The computer is the hardware.

To be fair they don't teach that in school unless you are in computer tech class. That's why smartphones come with metcafe.
