What type of system provides access to multiple users?

Mainframe
Cloud
Centralized
Client-Server

The correct answer is: Client-Server

A mainframe is a type of computer that is typically used by a large organization, but it does not necessarily allow access to multiple users at once. The cloud refers to a network of remote servers that allow storage, management, and access to data and resources, but it does not necessarily provide access to multiple users on a single system. A centralized system may have a central location for data and resources, but it does not necessarily allow multiple users to access these resources simultaneously. A client-server system, on the other hand, is designed to provide access to multiple users by connecting clients (such as personal computers) to a central server that manages resources and data. Therefore, the correct answer is D.
