1. A logistics manager labels storage zones as Z = \{A, B, C\} and transport vehicle types as V = \{Truck, Drone\}. If every zone is paired with every vehicle type to check compatibility, how many total pairs are in the Cartesian product $Z \times V$?
A) 3B) 5C) 6D) 9
✓ Correct Answer: Option C
Explanation: <br>
The total configuration count of elements within a Cartesian product space is tracked by $n(Z \times V) = n(Z) \times n(V)$. <br>
Given that cardinality n(Z) = 3 and vehicle choices n(V) = 2: <br>
$$3 \times 2 = 6 structural pairings.$$
