Home security systems, thermostats, and appliances that can be controlled via the web are examples of the _______&#10;A) cybercrime devices&#10;B) serious technology platform&#10;C) Internet of Things&#10;D) new Internet

Accepted Answer

The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the network of devices (such as security systems, thermostats, and appliances) that are connected to the internet and can be controlled or accessed remotely. Therefore, option C is the correct answer. Option A is incorrect because these devices are not intended for committing cybercrimes. Option B is incorrect because although these devices are part of an advanced technology platform, this term does not specifically refer to the IoT. Option D is incorrect as there is no new Internet, but rather an expansion of the existing internet to include more devices.
