Which component is described as sensors embedded in devices that acquire information from the surroundings such as temperature, gases, location, working of industrial machines, and health data of a patient?

Which component is described as sensors embedded in devices that acquire information from the surroundings such as temperature, gases, location, working of industrial machines, and health data of a patient?

• A. IoT gateway
• B. Cloud server/data storage
• C. Sensing technology
• D. Microsoft Intune

Answer: (A)

Sensors embedded in devices capture real-world signals such as temperature, gas levels, location, the operation of industrial machines, and health data from patients. This is sensing technology—the hardware that measures and reports conditions in the environment or on a subject. An IoT gateway is the controller that connects sensors to the network and handles data transmission, not the sensing elements themselves. The cloud server or data storage holds and analyzes the data after collection, while Microsoft Intune is a device management tool. So the component described is sensing technology—the sensors that acquire information.
