Question

the internet is a client/server network because

a. devices need to pay as clients to access the internet
b. the web is a client of the server called the internet
c. information is served to people for free.
d. devices connect as clients and ask for data from a computer that serves back results

Explanation:

In a client/server network, clients (devices) request data and servers respond. Option D correctly describes this relationship where devices (clients) ask for data from a server (computer) which serves back results. Option A is incorrect as payment isn't the defining characteristic. Option B has the relationship reversed (the web uses the Internet's client/server model, not the other way around). Option C is wrong as free information isn't the key aspect of the client/server model.

Answer:

D. devices connect as clients and ask for data from a computer that serves back results
