    A) Mainframes       

    B)        Client Server      

    C)          Master Slave     

    D)        Internet

    E) None of these

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Traditionally, user connect to a mainframe using a terminal which allowed them to input request to the mainframe. The main frame would then handle all the computing before outputting a response. These terminals are called dumb terminals because they had no data-processing abilities of their own, they were simply windows through which users could access the mainframe. These days, terminals emulation software such as 3270 emulation is used in place of a terminal.
