Match the LIST-I with LIST-II

	LIST-II
A.	IPv 4	I.	Proposed internet protocol
B.	QR	II.	Standard format for image files
C.	IPv 6	III.	Current protocol used by internet
D.	GIF	IV.	Used for storing URLs of websites

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Correct Option – (d)
Introduction:
· A. IPv4 (Internet Protocol version 4): The foundational internet protocol that remains widely used. It uses 32-bit numerical addressing. Match: A-III.
· B. QR (Quick Response Code): A two-dimensional matrix barcode commonly used for storing website URLs, contact details, payment information, and other data. Match: B-IV.
· C. IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6): The next-generation internet protocol developed to provide a much larger address space using 128-bit addresses. Match: C-I.
· D. GIF (Graphics Interchange Format): A bitmap image format used for both static images and simple animations. Match: D-II.
Thus, the correct matching is:
A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II
Therefore, the correct answer is (d).
Information Booster:
· IPv4 Address Size: 32-bit, supporting approximately 4.3 × 10⁹ possible addresses.
· IPv6 Address Size: 128-bit, supporting approximately 3.4 × 10³⁸ possible addresses.
Additional Knowledge:
GIF uses lossless LZW (Lempel–Ziv–Welch) compression and supports a limited color palette. It is particularly suitable for simple graphics, icons, and short web animations. JPEG and PNG are generally more suitable for photographs and other detailed images.
