I have been asked this question in an interview.

Answer 1

Right option is (c) CDART is a substitute for individual database searches

The best I can explain: CDART is a domain search program that combines the results from various database searches. As with InterPro, CDART is not a substitute for individual database searches because it often misses certain features that can be found in SMART and Pfam.
