Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.
The advancement of science has brought about profound changes in every aspect of our
lives, from medical treatment to the way we communicate. The capacity of artificial
intelligence, sometimes known as AI, to accomplish jobs that previously required human
intellect has caused a revolution in a number of different sectors. The altering of organisms'
genetic composition, which is made possible through genetic engineering, provides answers
for issues relating to food security and renewable energy. Technologies that utilise renewable
energy sources, such as solar panels and wind turbines, help to lower the emissions of
greenhouse gases. Manufacturing has been radically altered with the introduction of 3D
printing, and the Internet of Things (IoT) has enabled better resource management via the
connection of previously disconnected ordinary products. Because of the tremendous effects
these technologies have on society, their use must be carefully considered from an ethical
standpoint.

According to the passage, by linking which sort of products do the Internet of Things
(IoT) provide improved resource management?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. Previously disconnected ordinary products.

The passage states that the Internet of Things (IoT) "has enabled better resource management via the connection of previously disconnected ordinary products." This means IoT links everyday objects that were not connected before, improving how resources are managed.

Option 1 (3D printing technologies): This is related to manufacturing, not IoT.

Option 3 (Renewable energy technologies): This relates to solar panels and wind turbines, not IoT.

Option 4 (Artificial Intelligence technologies): AI is about jobs requiring human intellect, different from IoT’s focus on connecting products.
