offers many career opportunities

employs biomedical engineers and equipment technicians

focuses on the efficient storage and retrieval of medical information

designs medical robots to reduce the risk of infection

Answer 1

Select:
- offers many career opportunities — Yes. Biotechnology spans research, manufacturing, clinical, regulatory, and business roles.
- employs biomedical engineers and equipment technicians — Yes. Biotech firms hire engineers and technicians to design, maintain, and operate instruments and processes.
- uses living organisms to create useful products — Yes. This is the core definition of biotechnology.

Do not select:
- focuses on the efficient storage and retrieval of medical information — No. That describes health/medical informatics, not biotechnology.
- designs medical robots to reduce the risk of infection — No. Designing medical robots is primarily biomedical engineering/robotics rather than a defining feature of biotechnology.
