In Windows peer-to-peer networking, a workgroup is simply a ______.

• A. domain name
• B. server concept
• C. name for the network
• D. protocol

Answer: (C)

A workgroup in Windows peer-to-peer networking is simply a name used to identify a group of computers on the same local network that share resources directly, without a central server or domain controller. Each computer keeps its own user accounts, and resources can be shared with other machines in the group without centralized authentication.

That’s why the correct choice is a name for the network. It’s not a domain-based setup, which would rely on centralized authentication and a domain controller; it’s not a server concept, since the workgroup itself isn’t a server role or service; and it isn’t a protocol, because the term refers to how machines are grouped and identified, not to the data transfer rules or procedures used to share files.
