What two options are significant drivers for 5G in IoT networks? (Choose two)
The correct answer is B. Lower Latency C. Mass Connectivity. The two primary 5G drivers for IoT are lower latency (URLLC) and mass connectivity (mMTC), which address the real-time and scale requirements of IoT deployments.

Why each option
The two primary 5G drivers for IoT are lower latency (URLLC) and mass connectivity (mMTC), which address the real-time and scale requirements of IoT deployments.
Energy efficiency is an IoT device-level concern addressed by protocols like NB-IoT and LTE-M, not a primary architectural driver of 5G itself.
Lower latency corresponds to the 5G URLLC (Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communications) service category, which is critical for time-sensitive IoT applications such as industrial control and automotive systems.
Mass connectivity corresponds to the 5G mMTC (Massive Machine Type Communications) service category, designed to support the enormous number of low-power IoT devices per square kilometer.
Programmability is a network management and SDN concept, not a recognized 5G service category or driver specific to IoT.
Higher data rates map to the eMBB (Enhanced Mobile Broadband) 5G category, which targets consumer broadband, not IoT deployments.
