-Standard thick client

Accepted Answer

D. A computer used to run locally stored and locally processed applications

-Thin client

Accepted Answer

A thin client is a type of computer that relies heavily on another system (usually a server) to do most of its data processing. Applications are run, and data is stored on the server, while the thin client serves as an access point for the user. This setup is often used in enterprise environments to simplify maintenance and improve security.

Question 13

Matching
-MIDI

Accepted Answer

MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface, which is a technical standard that describes a protocol, digital interface, and connectors that allow a wide variety of electronic musical instruments, computers, and other related devices to connect and communicate with one another. MIDI carries event messages that specify notation, pitch and velocity, control signals for parameters such as volume, vibrato, audio panning, cues, and clock signals to set the tempo. As an educational guess, if "MIDIA" is indeed a typo for "MIDI," then "H" would be the correct match.
