Consider the following statements:S1 : Anchor block contains first rec...
Explanation:
The given statements are:
S1: Anchor block contains the first records of the chain.
S2: Anchor record is the first record of a block.
Let's analyze each statement individually:
S1: Anchor block contains the first records of the chain.
An anchor block is a special block in a blockchain that is used to reference the previous block in the chain. It serves as a starting point for the chain. The anchor block contains the first record of the chain, which is also known as the genesis block. This block typically contains information about the creation of the blockchain and sets the initial parameters for the system.
S2: Anchor record is the first record of a block.
An anchor record is a record within a block that is used to link the block to the previous block in the chain. It contains a reference to the previous block's anchor record. However, it is not necessarily the first record in the block. The anchor record is used to maintain the integrity and continuity of the blockchain by linking each block to its previous block.
Conclusion:
Based on the definitions and explanations above, we can conclude that both statements are true.
- Statement S1 is true because the anchor block does contain the first records of the chain, specifically the genesis block.
- Statement S2 is true because the anchor record is a record within a block, and it helps in linking the block to the previous block in the chain.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C: Both S1 and S2 are true.
