Which of the following is an example of peripheral devices?

• CPU
• RAM
• Mouse
• Operating System

In a client-server network, what is the role of the server?

• To request services from other computers
• To store and manage data for client devices
• To route traffic between different networks
• To block unauthorized access

What is the primary function of a firewall in a network?

• Managing data flow between CPU and memory
• Storing files securely
• Protecting the network from unauthorized access
• Enhancing the speed of data transmission

DNS servers are responsible for:

• Converting IP addresses to domain names
• Blocking viruses from entering the network
• Converting domain names into IP addresses
• Storing user data

Who are the primary stakeholders in system design?

• End users, software developers, testers
• End users, project managers, project designers
• Network engineers, managers, testers
• Only the end users

Which of the following is a method for obtaining system requirements?

• Data mining
• Interviews
• Testing
• System installation

What is the main advantage of using prototypes in system development?

• Reduces development costs
• Allows stakeholders to test and give feedback
• Increases system performance
• Prevents security issues

A flowchart is used to:

• Store user data
• Illustrate system requirements visually
• Speed up system processes
• Backup data

Iterative design in system development is important because:

• It allows a system to be developed faster
• It allows continuous refinement based on feedback
• It makes the system more secure
• It avoids the need for testing
