Consider the following statements: I. It is expected that Majorana 1 chip will enable quantum computing. II. Majorana 1 chip has been introduced by Amazon Web Services (AWS). III. Deep learning is a subset of machine learning. Which of the statements given above are correct?

  1. A.I and II only
  2. B.II and III only
  3. C.I and III only✓ Correct
  4. D.I, II and III

Explanation

The Majorana 1 chip was unveiled by Microsoft (not Amazon Web Services) in February 2025, and it is a quantum computing chip based on topoconductors and Majorana zero modes, expected to advance the development of scalable quantum computers. Hence statement I is correct, but statement II is incorrect because AWS did not introduce it. Deep learning is indeed a subset of machine learning, which itself is a subset of artificial intelligence — so statement III is correct.
