   A smart agriculture company uses soil moisture sensors that need to trigger irrigation valves automatically when moisture drops below a threshold. The sensors and valves are on the same local network, and the company wants to minimize dependence on cloud connectivity. Which approach best describes the direct communication between the sensors and valves?

   • ACloud-based analytics
   • BMachine-to-machine (M2M) communication
   • CIoT gateway mediation
   • DEdge computing

   A smart building has thousands of sensors, but the network bandwidth to the cloud is limited. The building manager wants to reduce the amount of data sent to the cloud while still enabling real-time monitoring and control. They also want to ensure that only authorized devices can communicate. What should they implement?

   • AM2M communication between sensors
   • BEdge computing nodes that process data and discard it
   • CAn IoT gateway that aggregates data, performs local processing, and enforces security policies
   • DDirect cloud connections for each sensor
