Selected Answer: C

C is the best answer. Once plugged in, assuming the monitor doesn't auto-detect the input, you would go to through the monitor's setting to ensure the input is set to where the laptop is plugged in

wouldn't it be D? Display settings isn't about source and power cycling the monitor would see the monitor registering the input

windows will not even attempt to do this until a certain setting is used, AFAIK. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/set-up-dual-monitors-on-windows-3d5c15dc-cc63-d850-aeb6-b41778147554
