The MOST likely explanation for the use of applets in an
Internet application is that:
A. it is sent over the network from the server.
B. the server does not run the program and the output is not
sent over the network.
C. they improve the performance of both the web server and
network.
D. it is a JAVA program downloaded through the web browser
and executed by the web server of the client machine.
Answer / guest
Answer: C
An applet is a JAVA program that is sent over the network
from the web server, through a web browser, to the client
machine. Then the code is run on the machine. Since the
server does not run the program and the output is not sent
over the network, the performance on both the web server and
network over which the server and client are connected
drastically improves through the use of applets. Performance
improvement is more important than the reasons offered in
choices A and B. Since JAVA virtual machine (JVM) is
embedded in most web browsers, the applet download through
the web browser runs on the client machine from the web
browser, not from the web server, making choice D incorrect.
