C Correct answer
Explanation

Client/server networks are designed for centralized resource management. When you need to store large databases and applications in one location that multiple users access simultaneously, a client/server architecture is necessary. Peer-to-peer networks are suitable for basic resource sharing like printers or fax machines among a small number of users, but not for centralized database management.
