Which of the following is the MOST likely reason?

After setting up a new computer, a user states that the mouse and keyboard will not work. Which
of the following is the MOST likely reason?

A.
The network cable is disconnected

B.
The PS/2 connectors are switched

C.
The USB connectors are switched

D.
The hard drive is unplugged

Explanation:

It is normal to switch the PS/2 connectors in older computers. PS/2 connectors are present side by
side at the back of a computer casing. Both are colored to avoid switching but sometimes the
keyboard is switched to a mouse PS/2 port and the mouse is connected to keyboard PS/2 port. So
first check PS/2 connector to see whether the problem lies with PS/2 connectors.
