    Correct Answer
    A. Cover hardware devices when not in use.
    Explanation
    Covering hardware devices when not in use is a way of caring for a peripheral device because it helps protect the device from dust, dirt, and other potential damage. When devices are not in use, covering them prevents them from being exposed to environmental factors that could potentially harm or affect their performance. This practice can prolong the lifespan of the device and ensure that it remains in good working condition.
