Answer: Quantum
Quantum annealing uses quantum tunneling to find global minima in optimization landscapes. Suitable for logistics, finance, machine learning. Different from gate-based quantum computing.
The technique that replaces sensitive data with non-sensitive equivalents while preserving format is called ________.
- Government Securities / G-Sec
- Shor's
- Tokenization
- Worm
Answer: Tokenization
Tokenization replaces sensitive values with format-preserving tokens, reversible via secure vault. Used in payments, healthcare for PCI-DSS compliance.
The technique that reconstructs sensitive attributes from model predictions is called Model ________ Attack.
- Building Energy / BEMS
- Columnar
- Inversion
- Bio-molecular / DNA
Answer: Inversion
Model inversion exploits model outputs to infer sensitive training data attributes. Critical privacy risk for ML systems handling personal data.
The pattern of gradually shifting traffic between application versions for safe deployments is called ________ Release.
- Circular
- Frequency
- IPR / Intellectual Property Rights
- Canary
Answer: Canary
Canary Release deploys new version to small user subset, monitors metrics, gradually expands if stable. Reduces risk vs big-bang releases.
The Indian mission that successfully demonstrated in-orbit docking technology in 2024 is called ________.
- SPADEX
- MQTT
- FIU-IND
- NIDHI
Answer: SPADEX
SPADEX (Space Docking Experiment) successfully demonstrated autonomous rendezvous and docking of two spacecraft in Earth orbit.
The Hyderabad-based initiative that is India's largest startup incubator is called ________.
- Offline
- Tokenization
- Multimodal Learning
- T-Hub
Answer: T-Hub
T-Hub (Telangana) is India's largest innovation campus, connecting startups with corporates, investors, mentors. Supports deep tech, healthtech, enterprise solutions.
The frequency band used for high-bandwidth satellite internet with higher rain attenuation is ________-band.
- Artificial Intelligence
- Ka
- Virtualization
- Modernisation Programme / DILRMP
Answer: Ka
Ka-band (26.5-40 GHz) offers high bandwidth for satellite broadband but susceptible to rain attenuation. Requires adaptive coding and ground station diversity.
The authority that adjudicates disputes under the DPDP Act 2023 is called Data Protection ________ of India.
- Platform
- Oxygen / ISRU
- Board
- Artemis
Answer: Board
Data Protection Board of India is independent regulatory body established under DPDP Act 2023 to adjudicate disputes, impose penalties, enforce compliance.
The technique that adds calibrated noise to model outputs to prevent membership inference is called ________ Privacy.
- Differential
- MITRE ATT&CK
- Man
- Beam / Nucleus
Answer: Differential
Differential Privacy mathematically guarantees that model outputs don't reveal whether specific individuals were in training data. Critical for privacy-preserving ML deployment.
A security event that compromises the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of data is called a ________.
- RTI Online
- Function
- Breach
- kube-scheduler
Answer: Breach
Security Breach is an incident where unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction of data occurs. Requires immediate containment, investigation, notification (as per laws like DPDP Act 2023), and remediation. Prevention: defense-in-depth, monitoring, incident response planning, and employee training.
The technology that uses algorithms to recommend products based on user behavior is called ________ Filtering.
- Ransomware
- Collaborative
- Carbon
- LLDP / CDP
Answer: Collaborative
Collaborative Filtering recommends items by analyzing patterns from similar users (user-based) or similar items (item-based). Used by Amazon, Netflix, Spotify. Hybrid systems combine with content-based filtering. Privacy-preserving techniques like federated learning are emerging to protect user data while personalizing recommendations.
The initiative that provides affordable internet data to rural students for online education is called ________.

The technique of sending data packets through multiple paths to optimize network performance is called ________ Routing.
- Work
- Dynamic
- Accessibility
- Canary
Answer: Dynamic
Dynamic Routing protocols (OSPF, BGP, EIGRP) automatically adjust paths based on network topology changes, congestion, or failures. Unlike static routing (manually configured), dynamic routing scales for large networks and provides redundancy. Essential for internet backbone and enterprise WANs.
