Answer: A

Explanation:

Correct Answer. A. Set the external display to duplicate the laptop screen Setting the external display to duplicate (mirror) the laptop screen ensures that all content, including icons and applications, appears on both screens, which is necessary for presentations.

Option B is incorrect. Changing the wallpaper does not affect the display of icons or applications.

Option C is incorrect. Brightness settings affect visibility but not the content displayed.

Option D is incorrect. Making the external display the primary monitor would not solve the issue of missing icons or applications on the projected screen.
