• C

• D

Explanation

Digital technology (B) is correct because it is the umbrella term specifically defined as the use of hardware and software systems to store, retrieve, transmit, and manipulate data - it describes the tools and infrastructure themselves.

• A (Digital strategy) is wrong because strategy refers to a plan or roadmap for how an organization uses digital tools to achieve goals, not the tools themselves.
• C (Digital transformation) is wrong because transformation describes the process of adopting digital technology to change business operations, not the technology itself.
• D (Digital business) is wrong because it refers to a type of organization that leverages digital technology, not the definition of the technology itself.

Memory tip: Think of "technology" as the stuff (hardware + software), while strategy, transformation, and business all describe what you do with or around that stuff.
