1. Intranet
2. Internet
3. Middleware
4. Modern

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : Intranet

The correct answer is Intranet.

• An intranet or internal website is a private network for a corporation or organization that only people with permission can access.
  • A computer residing on an intranet is often using IP addresses in the reserved address space.
  • That computer cannot be accessed outside of the local network unless given permission.
  • PCs in the intranet are not available to the world outside the intranet.

 

• Internet
  • It is a worldwide/global system of interconnected computer networks.
  • It uses the standard Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
  • Every computer on the Internet is identified by a unique IP address.
    • IP Address is a unique set of numbers (such as 110.22.33.114) that identifies a computer’s location.
  • Internet is accessible to every user all over the world.
• Middleware is software that lies between an operating system and the applications running on it.
  • Essentially functioning as a hidden translation layer, middleware enables communication and data management for distributed applications.
  •  It connects two applications so data and databases can be easily passed between the “pipe.”
  • A middleware allows users to perform such requests as submitting forms on a web browser or allowing the webserver to return dynamic web pages based on a user’s profile.
