Qn.3)  ‘Mac-binding’ recently seen in the news is associated with:

(a) Cryptocurrency

(c) Cotton production
(d) Satellite launch vehicle

Ans: (b) Internet Connectivity

NOTES :
Every device has a Media Access Control (MAC) address, a hardware identification number that is unique to it. While accessing the Internet, every device is assigned an IP address.

Mac-binding essentially means binding together the MAC and IP addresses, so that all requests from that IP address are served only by the computer having that particular MAC address.
In effect, it means that if the IP address or the MAC address changes, the device can no longer access the Internet. Also, monitoring authorities can trace the specific system from which a particular online activity was carried out.

NEWS
According to a recent order issued by the government, Internet has been restored in Jammu and Kashmir, but the connectivity will be made available “with mac-binding”.
