The correct option is D Mainframe
Smaller and less expensive PC-based servers are replacing
Mainframe in many businesses.
Mainframe computers (colloquially referred to as "big
iron"[1]) are computers used primarily by large organizations for critical
applications; bulk data processing, such as census, industry and consumer
statistics, enterprise resource planning; and transaction processing. They are
larger and have more processing power than some other classes of computers:
minicomputers, servers, workstations, and personal computers.
Modern mainframes can run multiple different instances of
operating systems at the same time. This technique of virtual machines allows
applications to run as if they were on physically distinct computers. In this
role, a single mainframe can replace higher-functioning hardware services
available to conventional servers. While mainframes pioneered this capability,
virtualization is now available on most families of computer systems, though
not always to the same degree or level of sophistication.
Mainframes are designed to
handle very high volume input and output (I/O) and emphasize throughput
computing.
