Definitely A. The Internet of Things is all about the interconnected devices, not virtual computers or server networks. Though I do wonder if any candidates will try to claim D is the right answer just to be different.

Haha, C is hilarious. IoT as a unit of IBM licensing measurement? What kind of nonsense is that? A is the obvious choice.

I'm going with A. The other options just don't make any sense in the context of IoT. Seems like some pretty straightforward distractors there.

Of course A is the correct answer! The Internet of Things is all about those billions of connected devices collecting and sharing data. I can't believe anyone would think it's about servers or IBM licensing. What a silly question.
