Correct Answer: A. Big-O notation describes how resource use grows with input size
Explanation:
Asymptotic notation characterises growth rates rather than exact machine-specific time.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: A. A primary key uniquely identifies each row in a table
Explanation:
Primary-key values are unique and support reliable row identification and relationships.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: D. Normalisation reduces avoidable redundancy and update anomalies
Explanation:
Normalisation decomposes data structures to improve consistency while preserving meaningful dependencies.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: D. IP handles addressing and routing, while TCP provides reliable ordered delivery for a connection
Explanation:
The Internet protocol suite separates network-layer routing from transport-layer reliability.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: C. DNS maps human-readable domain names to network-related records such as IP addresses
Explanation:
The Domain Name System is a distributed naming service used to resolve domains.

Correct Answer: A. Encapsulation groups data with methods and controls access to internal state
Explanation:
Encapsulation supports modular design by hiding implementation details behind a defined interface.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: C. Testing seeks evidence about defects and behaviour but cannot prove the complete absence of defects
Explanation:
Testing samples behaviour against expectations; exhaustive proof is usually infeasible.
