  1. LCH Prachand
  2. Permissioned Distributed / Hybrid
  3. Frequency
  4. Topology

Answer: Topology

Topology optimization uses algorithms to distribute material optimally within design constraints (loads, boundaries), creating lightweight, efficient structures often with organic shapes. Enabled by additive manufacturing which can produce complex geometries impossible with subtractive methods. Critical for aerospace, automotive, and biomedical applications.
