A factory installed an internet based sensor system to detect machine faults early. This is an example of which dimension?

Correct answer: Technological dimension

The direct answer is option C: technological dimension. An internet-based sensor system uses connected devices, software, communication networks, and automatic data monitoring. Detecting machine faults early through such a system is a technological innovation in factory operations. Option A, social dimension, concerns education, population, culture, lifestyle, and social expectations; none is the central feature. Option B, economic dimension, could be affected later through lower repair costs or higher productivity, but the stated action is installing a technology. Option C is correct because sensors and internet connectivity are technological tools used to improve production and maintenance. Option D, political dimension, concerns government policy, political stability, and public administration; no such factor is mentioned. Read the cause, not a possible result: the company adopted smart monitoring technology, so classify it as technological. Memory cue: sensors, internet of things, automation, software, and smart machines indicate the technological dimension.
