Question

question 8 (multiple choice worth 6 points)
what is a benefit of peer - to - peer networking?
one person has control over who is added to the network
backing up your work is not required
the network is extremely secure
users are independent

Explanation:

• In peer - to - peer (P2P) networking, each node (user) functions as both a client and a server. There is no central authority.
• “One person has control...” is incorrect as P2P has no single controller.
• “Backing up your work is not required” is wrong as data loss can still occur.
• “The network is extremely secure” is incorrect as P2P networks can have security vulnerabilities.
• “Users are independent” is correct because each user can operate their device and share resources without relying on a central server's permission.

Answer:

D. Users are independent
