The correct option is Artificial intelligence.

Artificial intelligence is the broad field that includes methods such as machine learning and deep learning which are used to analyze very large datasets and to discover recurring patterns and trends in the information. AI systems combine algorithms, statistical models, and computational power to extract patterns, make predictions, and automate decisions based on those recurring trends.

Machine learning is a key subset of AI and it refers specifically to the algorithms and models that learn from data. It is not marked as the correct choice here because the question names the overarching technology that encompasses those learning methods.

BigQuery is a cloud data warehouse and query service. It is used to store, manage, and analyze very large datasets and it can supply data to learning systems, but it is not itself the learning technology that discovers patterns in the conceptual sense used by the question.

Edge device networks describe architectures where devices process or collect data near the source. They can run models or collect training data but they are not the core technology that performs large scale pattern discovery across datasets by themselves.
