What is a benefit of using edge computing in an IoT implementation?
The correct answer is A. high speed in data processing. Edge computing processes data locally, at or near the IoT device, rather than sending it to a central cloud or data center. This eliminates the round-trip network latency to a remote server, resulting in high-speed data processing - critical for IoT use cases that require…

Explanation
Edge computing processes data locally, at or near the IoT device, rather than sending it to a central cloud or data center. This eliminates the round-trip network latency to a remote server, resulting in high-speed data processing - critical for IoT use cases that require near-real-time responses (e.g., industrial sensors, autonomous systems). Options B and C are incorrect because edge computing actually increases network design complexity and cost by distributing compute infrastructure to many edge nodes. Option D (high availability for network components) is not a primary benefit of edge computing; availability depends on redundancy design, not the edge model itself.
