What is the extension of the Microsoft Management Console used to manage hardware devices?

• A. .msc
• B. .exe
• C. .dll
• D. .sys

Answer: (A)

The key idea is that Microsoft Management Console consoles are saved with the .msc extension. These .msc files are the containers that specify which snap-ins are loaded and how the console's navigation is arranged, so you can open specific management tools for hardware devices. The hardware-related console you often use is the Device Manager, which is accessed via a file like devmgmt.msc, an MMC console saved with the .msc extension. Other extensions listed correspond to different types of files: .exe are executables, .dll are libraries, and .sys are driver files, not MMC consoles. So the extension used for MMC consoles to manage hardware devices is .msc.
