Question 66

Server

Servers are specialized computers that provide services such as website hosting and routing for various devices connected to a network. They manage network resources and deliver content to clients, making them essential for hosting websites and applications.

A) Server

This option is correct because servers are designed specifically to host websites, manage data, and facilitate communication between devices on a network. They provide the necessary infrastructure to deliver web content and services efficiently.

B) Modem

A modem is a device that modulates and demodulates signals for internet connectivity but does not host websites or manage routing in the same capacity as a server. It primarily serves as a bridge between the user’s local network and the internet.

C) Switch

Switches are networking devices that connect multiple devices on a local area network (LAN) and forward data based on MAC addresses. While they facilitate communication within a network, they do not provide hosting services like a server.

D) Repeater

Repeaters are used to extend the range of a network by amplifying signals, but they do not provide any services related to website hosting or routing. Their function is limited to signal transmission rather than data management or service provision.

Conclusion

The server is the only option that directly provides the services of website hosting and routing for various devices, fulfilling the core requirements of the question. In contrast, the modem, switch, and repeater each serve different functions that do not include hosting services, making them incorrect choices.
