Industrial control systems (ICS) - used in SCADA systems. This is a part of OT not really IT. OT is operational tech (like power plants and control systems). An example would be a controller that a razor company would have in place to ensure the blades are perfectly straight.

Answer is IoT : interent of things as andev08 states below my comment. ICS: forgot exactly but is something to do with control systems that are legacy and best to be isolated from internet. Again that is not a fridge since it is not a control system. SOC : system on a chip. the fridge might be using an SOC but it is not a category per say. as anything can use SOC. MFD is multi function device ( ex brother,, HP etc printer scanner copier and fax). Clearly the fridge is not in that category.
