A is the correct TPM 2.0 (Trusted Platform Module) is often disabled by default in the UEFI BIOS. Enabling it is necessary to meet the requirements for certain Windows installations, including Windows 11. Why Not B (Install an HSM): A Hardware Security Module (HSM) is a separate device used for cryptographic functions and is not related to TPM on the motherboard. Why Not C (Perform a clean install): A clean installation will not bypass the TPM 2.0 requirement. Why Not D (Implement BitLocker): BitLocker requires TPM but does not resolve its absence or lack of activation. CompTIA A+ Exam Reference: Core 1 (220-1101), Section 3.4, BIOS/UEFI configuration.

So we have to assume that the mainboard supports TPM or not? This question makes me confuse.
