Question Detail
Question
Fault tolerance, the ability of a system to continue operating even if some components fail, is a characteristic of which processing mode?
Correct Answer
Option C is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Fault tolerance is explicitly listed as a characteristic of distributed processing. Because tasks are spread across multiple independent computers, the failure of one node does not halt the entire system.
Hint
This property, common in systems with many interconnected computers, ensures reliability even when individual parts fail.
