  4. DI, II and III

Explanation

Analyzing each statement: I. Majorana 1 chip will enable quantum computing: Correct. The Majorana 1 chip is designed to create and manipulate Majorana fermions, which are crucial for topological quantum computing due to their natural error-correction properties. II. Majorana 1 chip has been introduced by Amazon Web Services (AWS): Incorrect. The Majorana 1 chip was developed by Microsoft, not AWS. Microsoft has been investing heavily in topological quantum computing research. III. Deep learning is a subset of machine learning: Correct. Deep learning uses artificial neural networks with multiple layers (hence 'deep') and is indeed a specialized subset of machine learning, which itself is a subset of artificial intelligence.
