Which of the following best describes the difference between thick clients and thin clients, and provides an example situation for each?

Thick clients handle most processing locally and are needed for resource-intensive applications like video editing, while thin clients rely on servers for processing and are suitable for tasks like web browsing in a call center.

Thick clients rely on servers for processing and are used in call centers, while thin clients handle most processing locally and are used for video editing.

Both thick and thin clients handle processing equally and can be used interchangeably in any situation.

Thick clients and thin clients are only differentiated by their physical size, not by processing capabilities.

The relationship between hardware and software is that:

Hardware provides the physical components, while software provides instructions for the hardware to perform tasks.

Hardware and software operate independently of each other.

Software is only used for entertainment purposes on hardware.

Hardware is not necessary for software to function.
