What type of surveillance system is NORMS?

Voluntary reporting system
Mandatory reporting system
Interactive data system
Manual record-keeping system

The correct answer is: Interactive data system

NORMS is an acronym for "National Online Regularity Monitoring System" and is a surveillance system that collects and analyzes data from various sources such as online reviews, social media posts, and consumer complaints to identify and track trends in the market. It is an interactive data system because it uses both automated processes and human analysis to gather and interpret data. Options A and B may seem like plausible choices, but they do not accurately describe the nature of NORMS. NORMS does not rely on voluntary or mandatory reporting, but rather actively searches for and collects data from various sources. Option D, manual record-keeping system, is also incorrect as NORMS utilizes advanced technology and algorithms to collect and analyze data in a more efficient and accurate manner. Therefore, the most appropriate choice is C, interactive data system.
