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) 3
B) 5
C) 6
D) 9
Correct Answer: C
<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>
$$3 \times 2 = 6\text{ structural pairings.}$$
