Detailed explanation-1: -What is true about a client-server network? In a client-server network, a dedicated server responds to service requests from clients.

Detailed explanation-2: -In client/server networks, users store their files on a central computer from which files are accessed directly. In the client/server network, the server is the central computer that stores the information, and the client is the computer (and user) that accesses the information from that central computer.
