Based on the passage:
With the digital phenomenon restructuring most social sectors, it is little surprise that global trade negotiations are now eyeing the digital area in an attempt to pre-emptively colonise it. Big Data is freely collected or mined from developing countries, and converted into digital intelligence in developed countries. This intelligence begins to control different sectors and extract monopoly rents. A large foreign company providing cab service, for instance, is not a network of cars and drivers; it is digital intelligence about commuting, public transport, roads, traffic, city events, personal behavioural characteristics of commuters and drivers and so on.

Which of the following is most definitively implied by the above passage?

Which of the following is most definitively implied by the above passage?

Accepted Answer

Correct Option: Big Data is the key resource in the digital space. The passage highlights that the digital phenomenon is restructuring sectors through Big Data, which is collected from developing countries, turned into digital intelligence, and used to control various markets and extract monopoly rents, such as in transportation and commuting. This entire mechanism underscores that Big Data is the foundational and key resource driving power and control in the modern digital space. Option B ('Big economies create Big Data') is inverted since data is mined *from* developing countries. Options C and D claim it is an exclusive prerogative or inherent characteristic of developed countries, whereas data is actually *sourced* from developing countries before being processed.
