You are carrying several video cards and network cards from a storage area to the workbench where you will install them into several computers. What option should you use to protect the components while moving them between rooms?
Styrofoam protectant case
Electrostatic Discharge Wristband
Correct Incorrect Unanswered Report Issue Answer Description
Antistatic bags are used to protect sensitive components like motherboards, processors, memory and more from Electrostatic Discharge (ESD). They should be used when moving these types of components around between rooms or when shipping. An ESD wristband can also protect against ESD but not usable when moving around between areas like different rooms, hallways, etc.

An antistatic bag is a bag used for storing electronic components, which are prone to damage caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD).
These bags are usually plastic polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and have a distinctive color (silvery for metallised film, pink or black for polyethylene). The polyethylene variant may also take the form of foam or bubble wrap, either as sheets or bags. Multiple layers of protection are often used to protect from both mechanical damage and electrostatic damage. A protected device can be packaged inside a metalized PET film bag, inside a pink polyethylene bubble-wrap bag, which is finally packed inside a rigid black polyethylene box lined with pink poly foam. It is important that the bags only be opened at static-free workstations.Dissipative antistatic bags, as the name suggests, are made of standard polyethylene with a static dissipative coating or layer on the plastic. This prevents buildup of a static charge on the surface of the bag, as it dissipates the charge to ground (i.e., whatever other surface it is touching). This bridge to ground is achieved with the inclusion of a tallow amine on the bags surface which attracts moisture that can conduct the charge to another surface, or to the atmosphere itself. In this sense, this type is truly 'antistatic' in that it hinders the formation of static charges. It, however, is not resistant to electrostatic discharge; if something else with a charge touches the bag (such as a person's hand), its charge would easily transfer through the bag and
