3. Question
1 pointsWhich of the following statements regarding mixed cropping is/are correct?
- Mixed cropping involves cultivating two or more crops simultaneously in the same field.
- The primary purpose of mixed cropping is to enhance the aesthetic appeal of the agricultural landscape.
- Mixed cropping helps in reducing the risk of total crop failure in case of unfavorable weather conditions.
Choose the correct answer using the codes given below
Correct
Statements 1 and 3 are correct while statement 2 is incorrect.
Mixed cropping is an agricultural practice where two or more crops are cultivated at the same time and place. This helps in maximizing the use of resources and increasing overall productivity.
The primary purpose of mixed cropping is not aesthetic appeal but rather practical benefits such as increased yield, reduced risk, and efficient use of resources.
One of the advantages of mixed cropping is the reduction of the risk of total crop failure. Different crops respond differently to weather conditions, pests, and diseases, providing a buffer against complete loss in case of adverse conditions.

Question 6 of 6
6. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements regarding Zero Trust Authentication (ZTA).
- Zero Trust Authentication assumes trust only within the boundaries of an organization’s network.
- ZTA relies on the traditional security model, where once a user is authenticated, they are granted access to all resources within the network.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Correct
Statement 1 is correct while statement 2 is incorrect.
Zero Trust Authentication (ZTA) challenges the traditional notion of trusting entities based solely on their location within an organization’s network. In ZTA, trust is not automatically granted based on network location; instead, every user and device, even those within the network, are treated as untrusted until proven otherwise. This approach enhances security by verifying identity and authorization continuously, regardless of the user’s location.
ZTA does not rely on the traditional security model where once a user is authenticated, they are granted access to all resources within the network. In ZTA, access to resources is based on continuous verification of identity, context, and permissions, reducing the risk of unauthorized access and lateral movement within the network.
