CompTIA A+ (220-902) — Question 1

Which of the following network hosts would MOST likely provide the services needed to allow client access to Internet web pages?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: D

Explanation

A Proxy server acts as an intermediary between clients and the Internet, allowing users to access web pages while providing additional benefits such as caching and security. A File server primarily stores files, a Web server hosts websites, and a WINS server resolves NetBIOS names to IP addresses, making them less suitable for direct client web access.
