   A company is designing an IoT system for a remote oil pipeline. The system must detect leaks quickly and also operate reliably despite intermittent satellite connectivity. The company has limited power at the site. Which architecture best meets the need for rapid leak detection while accommodating the connectivity constraint?

   • ASensors stream data continuously to a local gateway that performs real-time anomaly detection and sends only alerts via satellite.
   • BUse a cellular modem at each sensor to ensure continuous connectivity.
   • CSensors send all raw data directly to the cloud via satellite for immediate analysis.
   • DSensors store data locally and transmit it once a day via satellite for batch analysis.

   A hospital is implementing wearable devices that monitor patients' heart rates and alert staff if abnormalities are detected. The devices transmit data over the hospital's Wi-Fi network. Which IoT application sector does this scenario primarily belong to?

   • ASmart home, because the devices are worn by individuals.
   • BIndustrial IoT, because the devices are part of a hospital's infrastructure.
   • CHealthcare, because the devices monitor patient vital signs and provide alerts.
   • DTransportation, because the devices are mobile and move with patients.

   A hospital is deploying IoT-enabled infusion pumps that automatically adjust medication flow based on patient vitals. The pumps are connected to the hospital's network and send alerts to nurses' stations. Which characteristic of IoT is most directly responsible for the pumps' ability to change the medication flow without manual intervention?

   • AConnectivity, because the pumps communicate with the nurses' station over the network.
   • BActuation, because the pumps physically adjust the flow rate based on processed data.
   • CSensing, because the pumps continuously measure the patient's vital signs.
   • DData exchange, because the pumps send alerts and receive configuration updates.
