what is a network?
○ an internet connection
○ a group of applications that work together
○ a group of computers that can share resources and information
○ the firewall protection on a computer
Brief Explanations
To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:
- "An Internet connection" is incorrect because a network is not just an Internet connection (networks can exist without Internet, like a local area network).
- "A group of applications that work together" is incorrect as applications working together don't define a network; networks involve computers/ devices.
- "A group of computers that can share resources and information" is correct. A network, in computing, is a set of computers (or devices) connected to share resources (like files, printers) and information.
- "The firewall protection on a computer" is incorrect as a firewall is a security measure, not a network.
