Yes, the correct answer is C) Peer-to-peer.

To determine the correct answer, we need to understand the characteristics of each type of network mentioned in the options. Let's go through each one:

A) Client/server: In a client/server network, there is a central server that manages resources such as storage and processing power. Clients, or individual devices like computers, smartphones, or tablets, connect to the server to access these resources.

B) File server: A file server is a type of server that is primarily designed to store and manage files. It provides centralized storage and file management capabilities to clients in a network.

C) Peer-to-peer: In a peer-to-peer (P2P) network, devices are connected directly to each other without the need for a centralized server. In this network model, each device can act both as a client and a server, sharing its own resources (processing power, storage, etc.) with other devices in the network.

D) Web-based: A web-based network typically refers to a network infrastructure where applications and services are provided through web browsers over the internet. It does not specifically refer to a type of network architecture where processing and storage are shared without a centralized server.

Based on the description provided, a network that equally shares processing and storage without a centralized server is known as a peer-to-peer network. Therefore, the correct answer is C) Peer-to-peer.
