A sorting module uses sensors to measure objects and then uses a series of actuators, gates, and __________ to place them.

• A. Actuators
• B. Gates
• C. Conveyors
• D. Sensors

Answer: (C)

The key is how the sorted objects are physically moved to their destinations. After the sensors measure and the system decides where each item should go, you need a means to carry those items along to the next stage or into the correct bin. Conveyors provide that continuous transport along the sorting line, so the gates and actuators can divert items into the right paths while the belt or rollers carry them onward. Other options don’t serve as the moving transport: actuators perform actions, gates redirect paths, and sensors detect things. So the conveyor is the appropriate component to place the objects after sorting.
