What type of software allows user-to-user communication within a computer network?

  1. Network

  2. Socket

  3. Email

  4. Server

The correct answer is: Email

Email is a type of software that allows for user-to-user communication within a computer network. A is incorrect because a network is not a software, it is a system of interconnected devices. B is incorrect because a socket is a method of communication between two applications, but it is not a type of software. D is incorrect because a server is a computer or device that provides functionality for other devices or programs, but it is not specifically for user-to-user communication.
