Scenario: A company's IT department is implementing a new system where employees' computers can request and access data, applications, and services over the company network. The system is designed so that the workload is divided between the central server and individual employee computers. The server handles most of the processing and management of resources, while the employee computers mainly request and use those resources.

Question: Which of the following best describes the client$-$server model being implemented in the company?

The client$-$server model involves employee computers $($clients$)$ sending requests for resources, and the server responding by providing data or services such as applications and files.

The client$-$server model is focused solely on managing internet connections and does not handle data processing or resource sharing.

The client$-$server model requires all resources and applications to be stored on the client computers, which then share them with the server.

The client$-$server model uses peer$-$to$-$peer connections, where each computer on the network acts as both a client and a server.

In the client$-$server model, both the client and server perform the same tasks, and either one can provide resources like data and services to other devices on the network.
