The correct answer is option 4: Setting a password/PIN-protected lock screen

Key Points

The first step to securing a smartphone or tablet is to ensure that unauthorized users cannot access it if it is lost or stolen. This is achieved by setting up a secure lock mechanism such as a password, PIN, fingerprint, or facial recognition.

Explanation of options:

  • Option 1 – Turning off mobile data: ❌ This may limit connectivity but does not secure the device from unauthorized access.
  • Option 2 – Using only free Wi-Fi networks: ❌ In fact, public Wi-Fi can be insecure and risky; this is not a step toward security.
  • Option 3 – Installing more apps: ❌ Installing more apps can introduce vulnerabilities if apps are not from trusted sources.
  • Option 4 – Setting a password/PIN-protected lock screen: ✅ This is the primary and most basic step to protect the device from unauthorized access.

Hence, the correct answer is: option 4: Setting a password/PIN-protected lock screen
