  16% (9)

Explanation

Option A, "Dark blue," is the correct answer because it refers to IBM's supercomputer Deep Blue, which defeated reigning world chess champion Garry Kasparov in a six-game rematch in May 1997 with a final score of 3.5 to 2.5 - a landmark moment in artificial intelligence history. Options B ("Dark green") and D ("Blue sky") are fabricated names that do not correspond to any historically significant chess computer. Option C ("Ponder") refers to a chess engine technique (the process of thinking during the opponent's turn), not the name of a computer.

Memory tip: Associate "Deep Blue" with IBM's signature blue branding - the company is nicknamed "Big Blue," and the chess computer inherited that color identity, making it straightforward to recall that the famous machine was blue, not green or sky-colored.
