What is one of the roles of the client?
A
Sends a request to the server.
B
Waits for a request
C
Sends data back to the client
D
Acknowledges requests
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The client (usually a browser) opens a connection to the server and sends a request. The server processes the request, generates a response, and closes the connection if it finds a Connection: Close header.

Detailed explanation-2: -Client devices send requests to the servers for webpages or applications, and the servers serve up responses. The client-server model is used because servers are typically more powerful and more reliable than user devices.

Detailed explanation-3: -A client usually does not share any of its resources, but it requests content or service from a server. Clients, therefore, initiate communication sessions with servers, which await incoming requests. Examples of computer applications that use the client–server model are email, network printing, and the World Wide Web.
