What is the difference between a server and a client computer?

  1. A server computer is more powerful than a client computer

  2. A client computer is more powerful than a server computer

  3. A server computer stores data while a client computer processes data

  4. A client computer stores data while a server computer processes data

The correct answer is: A server computer stores data while a client computer processes data

A and B are incorrect as the difference between a server and a client computer is not in their power but rather in their function. D is incorrect as the server computer is responsible for storing and managing data while the client computer processes and utilizes the data from the server. This division of labor ensures that the server can handle large amounts of data, while the client can focus on using and manipulating it efficiently.
