• No centralized management, decreased security, and limited file sharing

• Decreased security, limited file sharing, and difficult scalability

• Centralized management of resources, improved security, easier file sharing, and better scalability

Explain the client-server model in the context of a network operating system.

• The client-server model is a network architecture where the client requests services or resources from the server, which then provides the requested services or resources.

• The client-server model is a network architecture where the server requests services from the client

• The client-server model is a network architecture where the client and server are not connected
