Answer 1

The concept that objects, embedded with hardware capable of sensing, processing and transmitting data, are increasingly becoming interconnected is called: B. Internet of Things

Internet of things is a concept where people use sensors to measure our surronding environment and take action based on the data. For example using temperature sensor to start or stop air conditioner without any manual intervention. Circuits like Raspberry Pi and Ardino are popular circuit boards used for this purpose. These sensors along with the circuit boards mentioned before together performs the task of sensing, processing and trasmitting data over internet, where cloud based application comsumes this data. IOT or Internet of Things is an intergral component of any Smart City concepts.

______________ is a program that controls the computer's resources; whereas ________________________ performs a service(s) in order to support various business functions.

Ans: A. Operating System; Application Software

Operating system acts as an interface between end users and hardware. OS has complete control over hardware like RAM, Hard Drive, printers etc. and provides system call for users to access these devices. Applcation Software on other hands are software like MS Excel, runs on a operating system which is used for business function.
