- Green Scheduling
- Both A and B
- Neither
Answer: Both A and B
Carbon-aware computing: schedule batch jobs when grid renewable fraction is highest, use geographic load balancing to low-carbon regions. Critical for sustainable cloud operations.
Which technology enables real-time monitoring of urban air quality for pollution control?
- IoT Sensor Networks
- Satellite Remote Sensing
- AI Analytics
- All of these
Answer: All of these
Urban air quality monitoring: IoT sensors for hyperlocal data, satellites for regional patterns, AI for source attribution and forecasting. Critical for public health and environmental policy.
Which technology enables high-capacity satellite backhaul for 5G networks?
- HTS
- Ka-band
- Both A and B
- Neither
Answer: Both A and B
High-Throughput Satellites (HTS) with Ka-band provide 100+ Gbps capacity for 5G backhaul in remote areas. Critical for bridging digital divide and supporting mobile network expansion.
Which CBDC benefit enables programmable subsidies with usage restrictions?
- Smart Contracts
- Conditional Transfers
- Both A and B
- Neither
Answer: Both A and B
Programmable CBDC enables subsidies usable only for specific goods/services (food, education), preventing misuse while ensuring benefits reach intended purposes. Critical for social welfare efficiency.
Which CBDC design enables offline transactions with fraud prevention?
- Secure Element Hardware
- Transaction Limits
- Both A and B
- Neither
Answer: Both A and B
Offline CBDC security: secure hardware (SE/TEE) prevents tampering; transaction limits minimize loss exposure; delayed synchronization enables fraud detection. Critical for inclusive yet secure design.
Which regulatory principle ensures crypto rules are proportionate to risks posed?
- Proportionality
- Technology Neutrality
- Risk-Based Approach
- All of these
Answer: All of these
Effective crypto regulation: proportionate to actual risks (not one-size-fits-all), technology-neutral (focus on function), risk-based (higher scrutiny for higher-risk activities). Critical for balanced policy design.
Which Indian provision requires crypto exchanges to implement customer due diligence?
- PMLA Rules
- IT Act
- SEBI Guidelines
- RBI Directions
Answer: PMLA Rules
PMLA rules mandate VASPs to perform KYC: identity verification, source of funds assessment, ongoing monitoring. Critical for preventing money laundering and terrorist financing via crypto.
Which CBDC feature enables automatic compliance with foreign exchange regulations?
- Programmable Rules
- Smart Contracts
- Both A and B
- Neither
Answer: Both A and B
Programmable CBDC can embed FX rules: transaction limits, reporting thresholds, approval workflows. Enhances regulatory compliance while reducing manual processing overhead.
Which mechanism prevents double issuance of carbon credits?
- Unique Serial Numbers
- Central Registry
- Blockchain Tracking
- All of these
Answer: All of these
Carbon credit integrity: unique identifiers prevent duplication; central registries track issuance/retirement; blockchain enables transparent, tamper-proof records. Critical for market trust.
Which practice reduces network energy consumption through intelligent traffic management?
- Software-Defined Networking
- Energy-Aware Routing
- Both A and B
- Neither
Answer: Both A and B
Energy-efficient networking: SDN enables dynamic resource allocation; energy-aware routing selects paths minimizing power use. Critical for sustainable telecom and data center operations.
Which technology enables precision livestock farming to reduce methane emissions?
- Wearable Sensors
- Feed Optimization
- Manure Management
- All of these
Answer: All of these
Precision livestock: sensors monitor health/behavior, optimized feed reduces enteric fermentation, manure management captures methane. Critical for sustainable agriculture and climate mitigation.
Which technology enables seamless handover between satellite beams for mobile users?
- Beam Steering
- Handover Protocols
- Both A and B
- Neither
Answer: Both A and B
Mobile satellite services require: beam steering to track users, handover protocols for seamless transition between beams/satellites. Critical for continuous connectivity in vehicles, aviation, maritime.
