Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
CONCEPT
A matching question is solved by assigning each term to the definition that states its defining function. Each definition should match exactly one term, and the completed one-to-one mapping must then be checked against the offered sequences.
APPLICATION
Firewall: A firewall is hardware or software placed between a computer and an external network to filter incoming and outgoing traffic; therefore A maps to II.
Digital certificate: A digital certificate uses a public-key/private-key pair to establish identity and support secure communication; therefore B maps to IV.
Cookies: Cookies store small pieces of website data, including preferences and session information, on the user device; therefore C maps to I.
Hypervisor: A hypervisor is software, firmware, or hardware that creates and runs virtual machines; therefore D maps to III.
ICT term | Defining function | Match |
|---|---|---|
Firewall | Filters traffic between a computer and an external network | A-II |
Digital certificate | Uses a public-key/private-key pair for identity and secure communication | B-IV |
Cookies | Store website preferences and session information | C-I |
Hypervisor | Creates and runs virtual machines | D-III |
CROSS-CHECK / CONTRAST
The four definitions are used exactly once: filtering network traffic identifies the firewall, the key pair identifies the digital certificate, remembered web preferences identify cookies, and virtual-machine creation identifies the hypervisor.
A-II, B-I, C-IV, D-III assigns the website-preference definition to a digital certificate and the key-pair definition to cookies.
A-I, B-IV, C-III, D-II assigns the website-preference definition to a firewall and the network-filtering definition to a hypervisor.
A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II assigns the virtual-machine definition to a firewall and the network-filtering definition to a hypervisor.
RESULT
The complete mapping is A-II, B-IV, C-I, D-III.
