D
If any part of the network fails, a lot of disruption can occur.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -If one computer fails it will not disrupt the network. There is little or no security which can leave them vulnerable. Users can access shared data which is centrally controlled.

Detailed explanation-2: -Due to its architecture, a P2P network can offer many advantages to its users, including: Easy file sharing: An advanced P2P network can share files quickly over large distances. Files can be accessed anytime. Reduced costs: There is no need to invest in a separate computer for a server when setting up a P2P network.

Detailed explanation-3: -Peer-to-Peer network has the advantage over client-server that the server is not bottlenecked as the services are provided by the several nodes distributed in a peer-to-peer system.

Detailed explanation-4: -Advantages of P2P Network Less costly: Since each node acts as a server, therefore the cost of the central server is saved. Thus, there is no need to buy an expensive server. No network manager: In a P2P network since each node manages his or her own computer, thus there is no need for a network manager.
