question 2 of 10
which of the following situations demonstrates informational technology used as a primary focus?
a. backing up business files to the cloud for storage.
b. replacing an outmoded computer with a newer model.
c. designing and implementing an online voting system.
d. recording a speech made by a political candidate.

Explanation:

• Option A: Backing up files to the cloud is a common IT - related task but not a primary focus on IT innovation or a system - level use of IT. It is more of a routine data management activity.
• Option B: Replacing a computer is a hardware - related task. While it is IT - related (as computers are part of IT infrastructure), it is more about maintaining the IT infrastructure rather than using IT as a primary focus.
• Option C: Designing and implementing an online voting system requires significant IT expertise in areas such as software development, security (to ensure the integrity of votes), and user - interface design. It is centered around using IT to create a new system, making IT the primary focus.
• Option D: Recording a speech is a media - related task. It may use some IT equipment (like a recording device), but the main focus is on the content (the speech) rather than IT.

Answer:

C. Designing and implementing an online voting system.
