Consider the following pairs: Terms sometimes seen in news : Context/Topic 1. Belle II experiment : Artificial Intelligence 2. Blockchain technology : Digital/Cryptocurrency 3. CRISPR - Cas9 : Particle Physics Which of the pairs given above is/are correctly matched?
A
1 and 3 only
B
2 only
Correct Answer
C
2 and 3 only
D
1, 2 and 3
Explanation
Option (b) is correct because Blockchain technology is the decentralized, distributed ledger system that serves as the foundational technology for digital cryptocurrencies. Pairs 1 and 3 are incorrectly matched because Belle II is actually a particle physics experiment in Japan, while CRISPR-Cas9 is a revolutionary gene-editing tool used in biotechnology. The core concept tested is the ability to correctly associate high-profile scientific breakthroughs and emerging technologies with their respective functional domains.
