Correct Answer:
C. Meta
Explanation:
In February 2025, Meta (formerly Facebook) announced Project Waterworth, a multi-billion dollar initiative to construct the world's longest subsea cable system. Spanning over 50,000 kilometers, the network is designed to exceed the Earth's circumference and connect five continents, including North America, South America, Africa, Asia, and Australia. The project utilizes advanced 24 fiber-pair technology to significantly enhance global data capacity and support the growing infrastructure needs of artificial intelligence. India is a primary focal point for the project, with landing points planned to bolster the country’s digital economy and provide high-speed, resilient connectivity by bypassing traditional geopolitical chokepoints. Therefore, Meta is the company responsible for this initiative.
