ITPEC IP April 2018 Question 16
ITPEC IP April 2018 — Question 16 of 100
A PC used independently without a connection to a network is operating as a standalone computer. Its applications, processing, and local data do not depend on network servers or peer devices for ordinary use.
Answer (c)
Why not others:
- a thin client relies heavily on a network server for processing or applications
- single processor describes the number of CPUs, not network independence
- peer-to-peer describes networked computers sharing resources directly with one another
Key rule: Standalone describes independent operation; thin-client and peer-to-peer describe networked system arrangements.
