Ans: d
Explanation:
Web3 is the third generation of the internet currently being built, where websites and apps will be able to process information in a smart human-like way through technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), Big Data, decentralized ledger technology (DLT), and more.
Web3 was in fact originally called the Semantic Web by World Wide Web inventor Tim Berners-Lee, and was aimed at being a more autonomous, intelligent, and open internet.
In Web3, data will be interconnected in a decentralised way, where as in Web 2.0, data is mostly stored in centralised repositories and therefore subject to manipulation or worse. Furthermore, users and machines will be able to interact with data.
Web3 networks will operate through decentralised protocols — the founding blocks of blockchain and cryptocurrency technology.
Hence, statements 1, 2 and 3 are correct.
