Correct answer & explanation
✓
Resources are shared from servers
In a client-server network, resources such as files, printers, and applications are hosted on dedicated servers and shared with client devices. This centralized resource sharing is a defining characteristic, as servers are designed to provide services to multiple clients, unlike peer-to-peer networks where each device shares its own resources directly.
