  • 1. Blockchain technology has been a significant disruptor in various industries, revolutionizing the way data is stored, verified, and transacted. Its decentralized nature enables secure and transparent transactions, reducing the need for intermediaries and streamlining processes. By providing a tamper-proof and immutable ledger, blockchain enhances trust and accountability among participants. This technology has the potential to revolutionize finance, healthcare, supply chain management, and many other sectors by increasing efficiency, reducing costs, and fostering innovation.

    What is a 'fork' in the context of blockchain technology?
A) A security breach in the blockchain network.
B) A change to the underlying rules of the blockchain.
C) A physical tool used to mine cryptocurrency.
D) A type of digital wallet.
  • 2. Why is data on a blockchain considered tamper-proof?
A) Because blockchain technology encrypts all data.
B) Because the government regulates blockchain data.
C) Because altering data in one block would require changing all subsequent blocks, which is computationally infeasible.
D) Because the data is physically stored on a secure server.

C) Public blockchains are controlled by a single entity, while private blockchains have multiple validators.
D) Public blockchains are open to everyone, while private blockchains restrict access.
  • 9. What is a '51% attack' in the context of blockchain technology?
A) An attack that steals cryptocurrency from multiple accounts.
B) An attack where a single entity controls the majority of the network's mining power.
C) An attack on a forked blockchain.
D) An attack that targets a specific block in the blockchain.
  • 10. What is a 'token' in the context of blockchain technology?
A) A type of blockchain fork.
B) An exchange for cryptocurrencies.
C) A digital asset that can represent ownership in a project or network.
D) A physical object used to mine cryptocurrency.
  • 11. What is 'decentralization' in the context of blockchain technology?
A) The process of limiting access to blockchain data.
B) The ability to alter past transactions on the blockchain.
C) The concentration of control in a single entity.
