The technique of sending data packets through multiple paths to optimize network performance is called ________ Routing.
- Work
- Dynamic
- Accessibility
- Canary
Answer: Dynamic
Dynamic Routing protocols (OSPF, BGP, EIGRP) automatically adjust paths based on network topology changes, congestion, or failures. Unlike static routing (manually configured), dynamic routing scales for large networks and provides redundancy. Essential for internet backbone and enterprise WANs.
The process of dividing a disk into logical sections for separate management is called ________.
- Carbon / Emissions
- Testable

- Partitioning
Answer: Partitioning
Partitioning divides a physical disk into logical sections (partitions) that can be formatted with different file systems, used for multiple OS installations, or separate data organization. Tools: Disk Management (Windows), fdisk/gparted (Linux). Enables better organization, security, and recovery strategies.
A security model that defines how subjects access objects in a system is called ________ Model.
- Access Control
- Compressed Air Energy / CAES
- Building Energy / BEMS
- Ensemble
Answer: Access Control
Access Control Models define policies for subject-object interactions: DAC (owner-controlled), MAC (system-enforced labels), RBAC (role-based permissions), ABAC (attribute-based rules). Critical for enforcing least privilege and compliance in enterprise systems. Implemented via IAM solutions and directory services.
The technology that uses drones for delivering packages in remote areas is part of ________ Logistics.
- Anomalous
