The client node creates new files in HDFS by communicating with the name node. The name node maintains the namespace of the file system and controls access to files by clients. The data nodes store and retrieve the actual data stored in the files. Therefore, option A is the correct answer. Option B is incorrect as the data node does not control the namespace or create files. Option C is incorrect as the data node does not control the namespace or communicate with the client to create files. Option D is incorrect as there is no such thing as a host node in HDFS.
