  • A. Edge computing
  • B. Cloud computing only
  • C. Offline batch processing
  • D. More than one of the above
  • E. None of the above

Correct Answer (Detailed Explanation is Below)

A. Edge computing

Detailed Explanation

Edge computing is suitable for applications requiring very low latency because data can be processed near the source instead of being sent to a distant cloud server.

Examples include autonomous vehicles, industrial control systems and real-time monitoring.
