Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

  • A shared resource typically refers to a hardware or software resource that can be accessed by one or more remote systems over a network. Hardware devices such as printers and scanners are often set up on a network for use by numerous users in an organization. Printer acts as a shared resource for a set number of computers allowing users to send documents to the print queue, which would then send those documents to the printer. This allows multiple users to share a single or more printers on a network. This is Cost-effective as printers are expensive.
