Which of the following protocols is the most appropriate to use for inventory tracking in a small warehouse?

The correct answer is B. Radio-frequency identification. RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) is the industry-standard technology for inventory and asset tracking. RFID tags on items can be read by scanners from several meters away without requiring line-of-sight, making it efficient for warehouse operations. NFC (A) is a subset of RF

Explanation

RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) is the industry-standard technology for inventory and asset tracking. RFID tags on items can be read by scanners from several meters away without requiring line-of-sight, making it efficient for warehouse operations. NFC (A) is a subset of RFID but operates at a very short range (a few centimeters), making it impractical for scanning shelved goods. Bluetooth (C) requires pairing and active power in tags. 802.11/Wi-Fi (D) is a network infrastructure standard, not a tagging/identification protocol.
