Select the correct answer:
Which of the following statements are true?
Statement I Big data refers to no precise quantity, but generally refers to data in the range of Petabytes and Exabyte, i.e. billions to trillions of records, all from various sources. Big data is generated much faster. than traditional data in much larger quantities.
Statement II Big data interests industries because they are able to learn more patterns and curious variances than smaller data sets, with the capability to provide valuable insights into consumer behaviour, weather systems, financial market activity, or other phenomena.
Statement III Various departments and product lines use various applications within most organisations and store data in separate datasets. These separate databases may contain similar data, but data from one data base to another is not always consistent. This is called data silo.
Which term describes the practice of combining multiple data sources to uncover hidden patterns or insights?
Statement : Certain mining industries in Gujarat may come to a standstill because of the notification issued by the Department of Environment and Forest banning mining operations and industries alike within 25 kms of National Park, the game sanctuary and reserve forest areas.

Courses of Action :
I. The Department should be asked to immediately withdraw the notification.
II. The Government should make effort to shift the parks, sanctuaries and reserve forests to other non-mining areas.
