A ___ is a Wi-Fi enabled device with a switch that plugs into a standard receptacle.

• A. Smart Outlet
• B. Smart Plug
• C. Smart Hub
• D. Smart Device

Answer: (B)

A Smart Plug. It is a plug-in device that fits into a standard outlet and provides a controllable switch on the plug itself. You plug the smart plug into the receptacle, then plug a lamp or other appliance into the smart plug. The built-in switch on the plug can be controlled remotely via an app or voice assistant, and often supports schedules or automation. This differs from a smart outlet, which replaces the wall outlet itself and controls power at the receptacle rather than via a plug-in module. A smart hub acts as a central controller for multiple devices, not a plug-in switch. A smart device is too generic to describe this specific plug-in, switch-on-a-plug scenario.
