Which of the following is a computer in a network with the ability to access shared resources and files through a server?

• A. Client
• B. Peripheral device
• C. Bus
• D. Modem

Answer: (A)

In a client-server network, devices that access resources on a server are clients. The client requests shared resources and files from the server, which hosts and manages access to those resources. A peripheral device is hardware attached to a computer, not a networked computer accessing a server. A bus is the internal data pathway within a computer, not a network role. A modem provides connectivity but isn’t itself the computer that accesses server-stored resources. So, the correct choice is the client.
