A
Any change to one tier typically affects both tiers
B
Represents a single point of failure
C
They are quite manageable
💡 Explanation:
In 2-tier architecture, changes to one tier (client or server) typically require changes to the other due to tight coupling. The central server represents a single point of failure - if it goes down, the entire system fails. These architectures are also more manageable than distributed n-tier systems due to simpler deployment and monitoring.
