Consider the following statements : 1. It is expected that Majorana 1 chip will enable quantum computing. 2. Majorana 1 chip has been introduced by Amazon Web Services (AWS). 3. Deep learning is a subset of machine learning. Which of the statements given above are correct?

A
1 and 2 only
B
2 and 3 only
C
1 and 3 only
Correct Answer
D
1, 2 and 3

Explanation

Option (c) is correct because Statement 1 accurately identifies the Majorana 1 chip as a breakthrough designed to enable stable quantum computing using topological qubits, and Statement 3 correctly defines the hierarchical relationship where deep learning is a specialized subset of machine learning. Statement 2 is incorrect because the Majorana 1 chip was developed and introduced by Microsoft, not AWS, which makes the all-inclusive option (d) incorrect. The core concept being tested is emerging technologies, specifically the latest developments in quantum hardware and the fundamental classification of artificial intelligence.
