I'm just going to comment that whoever wrote these questions doesn't know much about computer science - unless the questions were MEANT to be of the type "one way to prevent d=the danger of electrical shock is a) a large life insurance policy". Many of the answers are "none of the above are even close enough to be wrong".

I think you should do your own homework. This has nothing to do with programming & design
