a. True
b. False

Answer 1

To set the screensaver to activate after 10 minutes of idleness and require a password on resume, access the operating system's settings for personalization, set the screensaver wait time to 10 minutes, and check the option to display the logon screen upon resume.

Step-by-step explanation:

To configure a screensaver to activate after a system has been idle for 10 minutes and require the user to log on before resuming, you would typically access the operating system's settings. For instance, on a Windows machine:

1. Right-click on an empty area of the desktop and select 'Personalize.'
2. Click on 'Lock screen' on the left-hand side panel, then scroll down and click on 'Screen saver settings.'
3. In the screen saver window, you can choose a screensaver from the dropdown menu.
4. Set the wait time to 10 minutes.
5. Check the box 'On resume, display logon screen.'
6. Click 'Apply' and then 'OK' to save your settings.

The system will now activate the screensaver after 10 minutes of inactivity, and when you or someone else attempts to use the computer again, it will prompt for the user's password.
