Explanation:

For the first question, a doorknob is a simple system as it has few components and a straightforward function. Automated factories, traffic - light networks, and smartphones are complex with multiple components and functions. For the second question, the main difference between simple and complex systems is that simple systems have few components and a single process, while complex systems have many components and multiple subsystems. Complex systems aren't always more reliable, simple systems aren't always more efficient, and the classification isn't based on being mechanical or digital. For the third question, the manufacturing system (not listed but conceptually) which is related to transforming raw materials into products. Since construction is about building structures and transportation is about moving things, neither is correct for this function.

Answer:

1. B. Doorknob
2. B. Simple systems have few components and a single process, while complex systems have many components and multiple subsystems
