What is the primary function of a client in client-server architecture?

• To process requests

• To request information or services

• To store data

• To manage network security

Which of the following is a benefit of centralized control in client-server architecture?

• Decentralized data storage

• Higher operational costs

• Easier upgrades and management

• Increased data redundancy

What does scalability in client-server architecture refer to?

• The complexity of server configurations

• The number of clients connected

• The speed of data processing

• The ability to handle increasing workloads

What is an IP address?

• A method for data encryption

• A protocol for secure communication

• A unique identifier for a device on a network

• A type of server

Which of the following best describes the request-response cycle?

• A way to store data on a client device

• A cycle where a client sends a request and receives a response from a server

• A method for servers to communicate with each other

• A process where clients send data to each other

What is the role of a server in client-server architecture?

• To request data from clients

• To manage client devices

What does HTTP stand for?

• Hypertext Type Protocol

In which scenario would you use asynchronous requests?

• When you need immediate feedback from the server

• When sending a simple text message

• When waiting for a server response before proceeding

• When uploading a file while continuing to use the application

What is the main advantage of operational efficiency in client-server architecture?

• Servers are less reliable

• Clients can operate independently
