Which of the following would be BEST prevented by a raised floor in the computer machine room?

A.
Damage of wires around computers and servers

B.
A power failure from static electricity

C.
Shocks from earthquakes

D.
Water flood damage.

Explanation:
The primary reason for having a raised floor is to enable power cables and data cables to be installed
underneath the floor. This eliminates the safety and damage risks posed when cables are placed in a spaghettilike fashion on an open floor. Staticelectricity should be avoided in the machine room; therefore, measures
such as specially manufactured carpet or shoes would be more appropriate for static prevention than a raised
floor. Raised floors do not address shocks from earthquakes. To address earthquakes, anti-seismic
architecture would be required to establish a quake-resistant structural framework. Computer equipment needs
to be protected against water. However, a raised floor would not prevent damage to the machines in the event
of overhead water pipe leakage.
