Distributed Processing Systems allow many computers linked together to work on projects in the processors ‘spare’ time
A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -(True) Distributed Systems “ A distributed system runs on a collection of computers that do not have shared memory, yet looks like a single computer to its users.”

Detailed explanation-2: -Distributed processing means that a specific task can be broken up into functions, and the functions are dispersed across two or more interconnected processors. A distributed application is an application for which the component application programs are distributed between two or more interconnected processors.

Detailed explanation-3: -Such a cluster is referred to as a “distributed system.” Distributed computing offers advantages in scalability (through a “scale-out architecture”), performance (via parallelism), resilience (via redundancy), and cost-effectiveness (through the use of low-cost, commodity hardware).

Detailed explanation-4: -Some of the most common examples of distributed systems: Telecommunications networks (including cellular networks and the fabric of the internet) Graphical and video-rendering systems. Scientific computing, such as protein folding and genetic research.
