Which of the following servers provides access to user data over a LAN?

Answer options

• A. Proxy server
• B. DHCP server
• C. Web server
• D. File server

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, the File server, as it is specifically designed to store and manage user data that can be accessed over a LAN. A Proxy server (A) acts as an intermediary for requests from clients seeking resources from other servers, a DHCP server (B) assigns IP addresses to devices on a network, and a Web server (C) serves web pages but is not primarily focused on user data storage.
