Selected Answer: B
If a smartphone repeatedly loses connection to a home Wi-Fi network and the common troubleshooting steps like restarting the device, rebooting the router, and resetting the Wi-Fi settings have not resolved the issue, updating the smartphone's operating system (OS) could be the next logical step. OS updates often include fixes for known bugs and improvements in connectivity and compatibility with network hardware, which could resolve persistent connection issues.

D. If the router's signal does not reach certain areas of the home, the smartphone may lose connection when moving out of range. Checking the range involves verifying the signal strength in different areas of the home to identify any dead zones or areas with weak signal reception.
