When troubleshooting a computer that is unable to connect to the internet, which of the following approaches BEST aligns with the divide and conquer method?
Check the network configuration settings, such as IP address and DNS.
Open different web browsers to test if the issue persists across all of them.
Restart the computer to see if that resolves the issue.
Replace the network cables and see if there's a difference.
After ensuring that the physical connections are intact, checking the network configuration settings narrows the problem scope to a specific part of the system (software), which is in line with the divide and conquer strategy. Testing different browsers doesn't divide the problem effectively, and restarting the computer or replacing network cables might bypass software issues that could be the cause.
