A UPS provides protection against:

  1. Data loss

  2. Overheating

  3. Power outages

  4. Virus attacks

The correct answer is: Power outages

A UPS, or uninterruptible power supply, is a crucial device in protecting electronic equipment during power outages. It provides backup power to allow for proper shutdown of devices and prevents data loss. While overheating and virus attacks can cause damage to electronic equipment, a UPS specifically protects against power outages and the resulting power surges or drops. Therefore, B and D are not the best answers as they do not directly relate to the function of a UPS. Option A may seem plausible, but it is not the primary purpose of a UPS and is not its main form of protection.
