Which one of the following words/phrases is most appropriately used to denote “an interoperable network of 3D virtual worlds that can be accessed simultaneously by millions of users, who can exert property rights over virtual items?
(a). Big data analytics
(b). Cryptography
(c). Metaverse
(d). Virtual matrix
Explanation:
Metaverse is the most appropriate term.
Big data analytics: This refers to the
process of examining large volumes of data to discover patterns and insights.
It doesn't describe a virtual world.
Cryptography: This is the practice of
securing information and communications through codes. While it might be a
component of a metaverse (for example, to protect virtual property), it doesn't
define the entire concept.
Virtual matrix: This is a more general
term that could refer to any virtual environment. It doesn't specifically imply
interoperability, simultaneous access, or property rights.
So, the correct answer is (c).
