Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A web application server is a server that is responsible for managing the communication between client-side applications and the server-side applications. It provides security and authentication of users through user IDs and passwords. Option A is incorrect because the definition describes a database access standard, not a web application server. Option B is incorrect because a web application server is not automatically invoked by the browser, rather it is requested by the client-side application. Option C is also incorrect because a web application server runs on the server-side, not on the client machine.
