C Correct answer
Explanation

In Oracle Shared Server (formerly MTS), client processes connect to dispatchers, which then route requests to shared server processes. The listener initially hands off the connection to a dispatcher, not directly to a shared server. The service is a logical entity registered with the listener. This architecture allows many clients to share fewer server processes, reducing memory overhead.
