To answer this question, you need to understand the function of the Siebel Web Engine when it receives a URL with a Siebel request. Let's go through each option to understand why it is correct or incorrect:
Option A) Gathers templates and data and builds an HTML page - This option is correct. The Siebel Web Engine acts as a middleware component that receives a URL with a Siebel request. It then gathers the necessary templates and data from the Siebel Servers and uses them to build an HTML page that will be returned to the client.
Option B) Displays the HTML page on the client’s computer - This option is incorrect. While the Siebel Web Engine is responsible for building the HTML page, it does not directly display the page on the client's computer. The HTML page is sent back to the client's browser, which then displays it.
Option C) Provides access to, and distributes load for Siebel Servers - This option is incorrect. While the Siebel Web Engine does facilitate access to Siebel Servers by receiving and processing requests, it does not distribute load for the servers. Load balancing is typically handled by a separate component, such as a load balancer.
Option D) Verifies that the client is using an acceptable browser - This option is incorrect. The Siebel Web Engine is not responsible for verifying the client's browser. This task is often handled by the web server or other security measures.
The correct answer is A) Gathers templates and data and builds an HTML page. This option is correct because the Siebel Web Engine performs this function when it receives a URL with a Siebel request.
