Explanation:

Both statements are correct.

• Recently, iHub – AWaDH (Agriculture and Water Technology Development Hub) at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Ropar, under the National Mission on Interdisciplinary Cyber-Physical Systems (NM-ICPS) launched Bluetooth Low Energy Gateway and Node System.

• It is the first-of-its-kind cost-effective system that connects Bluetooth-enabled sensors to cloud platforms.

• It enables seamless data transmission, real-time environmental monitoring, and advanced analytics across diverse sectors such as agriculture, logistics, and environmental resilience.

Potential applications

• Agriculture: It supports precision farming by monitoring critical factors such as soil moisture and air quality, enabling better control and sustainable practices.

• Logistics: It ensures optimal environmental conditions for perishable goods in cold storage and transit, mitigating risks of spoilage.

• Smart cities and industrial sites: They can leverage the system for large-scale monitoring networks to enhance operational efficiency and security.

Hence option 3rd is correct.
