Answer 1

Complete Question:

Which technology is set up on the marketing team's phones?

a) Bluetooth

b) Tethering

c) NFC

d) Hotspot

Answer:

NFC

Step-by-step explanation:

Near Field Communication (NFC) is a short-range wireless connectivity standard that uses magnetic field induction to enable communication between devices when brought within a few centimetres from each other. NFC offers a secured communication between connected electronic devices with simple setup that can be used to bootstrap more-capable wireless connections. It only covers a range of 10 cm to 20 cm.

None of the other options can transmit or share information for payments among the team except the NFC. NFC is also suitable for this setup because only a small range is expected to be covered.
