  • 2. 

    A UAV is controlled

    • From the ground

    • From a pre-program

    • Both A and B

    • It' can't

    Correct Answer
    A. Both A and B
    Explanation
    The correct answer is both A and B. A UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) can be controlled from the ground, meaning that a human operator can remotely control its movements and actions. Additionally, a UAV can also be controlled through a pre-programmed set of instructions, where it follows a predetermined flight path or carries out specific tasks without real-time human intervention. Therefore, both options A and B are correct as a UAV can be controlled from the ground and from a pre-program.
