Which benefit can an oil and gas company receive from the Cisco internet of things?

Question

Options

• AFaster theft and leak detection.
• BGreater collaboration among international oil and gas companies.
• CIncreased demand of oil and gas.
• DLess competition with alternative energies.

• A
  81% (29)
• B
  11% (4)
• C
  3% (1)
• D
  6% (2)

Explanation

Cisco's IoT platform connects sensors, pipelines, and field equipment in real time, enabling oil and gas companies to detect theft (unauthorized tapping) and leaks (pressure/flow anomalies) far more quickly than manual inspections allow - making A the direct, practical benefit IoT delivers.

B is wrong because IoT is an operational technology, not a collaboration or communication platform between competing companies. C is wrong because IoT optimizes operations but has no influence over market demand for oil and gas. D is wrong because IoT cannot change competitive dynamics between energy sectors - that's driven by economics and policy, not sensors.

Memory tip: Think "IoT = sensors = detection." Whenever you see IoT in an exam context, link it to real-time monitoring and alerts - leak/theft detection is the classic oil & gas use case because pipelines are vast, remote, and expensive to monitor manually.
