The client-server topology
A)increases the amount of data that is transmitted between the central file and the network node
B)eliminates the need for nodes to communicate with each other
C)reduces the number of records that must be locked by having the file server perform record searches
D)functions only with a ring and bus topology

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The client-server topology reduces the number of records that must be locked by having the file server perform record searches. This means that the file server handles the search and retrieval of data from a centralized location, reducing the amount of data that needs to be transmitted back and forth between nodes. This type of topology does not eliminate the need for nodes to communicate with each other and can work with various network topologies, not just ring and bus. Therefore, option A and D are incorrect, and option B is not applicable in this scenario.
