Exercise 58

Which of the following statements about the client-server model is correct?
A) It is best suited to the token ring topology because the random-access method this topology uses detects data collisions.
B) It distributes both data and processing tasks to the server node. The client-server model can use the bus or ring topology.
C) It is most effective when used as a bus topology because its deterministic access method avoids collisions and prevents data loss during transmissions.
D) It is more efficient than the bus or ring topologies because it transmits an entire file of records to the requesting node rather than only a single record.
E) It is not used in conjunction with either the bus or ring topology.
