   A regional power utility has deployed IoT-controlled smart switches across its grid to balance load and prevent blackouts. The switches rely on a central cloud-based management platform. During a severe storm, the cloud platform experiences a regional outage, and the smart switches lose their connection to the management system. The utility must decide on a response. What is the most effective way to prevent a cascading power outage?

   • ASwitch the smart switches to a different cloud provider during the outage.
   • BImplement a decentralized control algorithm on the smart switches that allows them to operate autonomously based on local grid conditions when the central platform is unreachable.
   • CDeploy more IoT sensors to the grid to provide more data to the cloud platform.
   • DIncrease the bandwidth of the cloud platform's connection to handle more data during the storm.

   Which IoT failure could lead to food contamination during distribution?

   • AA GPS tracker in a delivery truck provides a slightly longer route.
   • BA sensor in a refrigerated truck fails to detect a rise in temperature, allowing dairy products to spoil.
   • CA smart lock on a warehouse door fails to open for a delivery driver.
   • DA connected scale in a distribution center shows an incorrect weight for a pallet.
