Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of a client in the client/server model?

A.
May be diskless

B.
Systems backup and database protection

C.
Extensive user interface

D.
Data entry screens

Explanation:
In the client/server model, the server is the data storage resource and is responsible for data
backups and protection/maintenance of the database. Answer “May be diskless” refers to a diskless
workstation or PC at the client side. By not providing local data storage capabilities at the client side,
security is increased since the data is less vulnerable at a protected server location. Also, because
the client is the users path into the network, the client must have extensive, user friendly interfaces
such as described in answers Extensive user interface and Data entry screens.
