ICT is used to control and monitor activities. Which of the following activities are most likely to use sensors?
1.Designing a master slide for a presentation
2.Activating a burglar alarm
3.Opening automatic doors
4.Creating a spreadsheet
A1 & 2 only
B2 & 3 only ✓ Correct
C3 & 4 only
D1 & 4 only
Correct answer: (B) 2 & 3 only
Explanation
Statements 2 and 3 are correct: a burglar alarm and automatic doors both rely on sensors to detect movement or presence.
Statement 1 is wrong because designing a master slide for a presentation is a software layout task with no sensor.
Statement 4 is wrong because creating a spreadsheet is data entry that needs no sensor.
A burglar alarm uses motion or contact sensors to detect an intruder and trigger the alert.
Automatic doors use infrared or pressure sensors to detect an approaching person.
Sensors convert a physical quantity such as light, heat or motion into a signal a computer can process.
