Which of the Following Statements Is False

question 26

Multiple Choice

Which of the following statements is false?

• A) Many APIs are synchronous-when you call a function or method, the program waits for the function or method to return before moving on to the next task.
• B) Synchronous programs can start a task, continue doing other things, then be notified when the original task completes and returns its results.
• C) Many Watson services offer both synchronous and asynchronous APIs.
• D) The Speech to Text demo is a good example of asynchronous APIs. The demo processes sample audio of two people speaking. As the service transcribes the audio, it returns intermediate transcription results, even if it has not yet been able to distinguish among the speakers. The demo displays these intermediate results in parallel with the service's continued work. Sometimes the demo displays "Detecting speakers" while the service figures out who is speaking. Eventually, the service sends updated transcription results for distinguishing among the speakers, and the demo then replaces the prior transcription results.
