Wait, only Android and iOS? That seems off!

Totally agree, SMS is outdated for sensitive info!

The store and forward thing makes sense, but still...

Really? I thought it was safe enough for everything.

SMS was never meant for secure stuff, that's true.

I doubt that the number of mobile platforms is a significant issue; it seems more about how SMS was built and used.

I feel like the widespread support for SMS on many devices is a factor, but I don't know if it's the root cause.

I think option B makes sense since SMS wasn't designed for sensitive information, but I can't recall the specifics we covered.

I remember discussing how SMS is a 'fire and forget service', but I'm not sure if that's the main reason for its vulnerabilities.

I'm pretty sure the answer is index node, since that's the main data structure used to keep track of file metadata in UNIX filesystems.

This is a tricky one. I'm torn between A and B, but I think I'll go with A since the question specifically mentions the CCMA. The wording makes me think that's where I need to look for the Open Queue configuration.

This looks like a straightforward question about MaxCompute client tools. I'm pretty confident the answer is A - DataWorks, since it's the most comprehensive workflow and scheduling tool for MaxCompute.
