Introduction to Blockchain Quiz

What is blockchain?

• A type of block used in construction

• A decentralized, distributed ledger technology that records transactions across many computers in such a way that the registered transactions cannot be altered retroactively.

• A type of chain used in jewelry

• A type of chain used in sailing to anchor a boat

What is the basic concept behind blockchain technology?

• Decentralized and distributed ledger system

• Fragmented and unorganized ledger system

• Hierarchical and controlled ledger system

• Centralized and isolated ledger system

Explain blockchain in simple terms.

• A centralized database that records transactions on a single computer.

• A type of chain used in the shipping industry to secure cargo.

• A type of lock used to secure bicycles.

• A decentralized, distributed ledger that records transactions across many computers.

Define blockchain and its purpose.

• A decentralized, distributed ledger technology that records transactions across multiple computers in a way that is secure, transparent, and tamper-resistant.
