A. B. C. D.B.
The configuration of the application described in the question is a form of network-based application. The application is installed and configured locally on a workstation, but it writes all the save files to a different workstation on the network.
In a network-based application, the application is installed and executed on a server, and users access it remotely from their client workstations. However, in this case, the application is installed and executed locally on a workstation, but it still accesses files on another workstation on the network, making it network-based.
Client/server architecture, on the other hand, is a form of network-based architecture where clients request services or resources from a server. In this case, the application is not requesting services from the remote workstation, but rather it is writing files to it, so it is not client/server.
Application streaming is a method of delivering an application to a user's workstation over the network without actually installing it locally. In this case, the application is installed locally, so it is not application streaming.
Peer-to-peer (P2P) architecture is a decentralized architecture where multiple computers share resources and work together without a dedicated server. In this case, the application is accessing files on another workstation, but it is not sharing any resources or working together with that workstation in a P2P manner.
Therefore, the accurate configuration of the described application is network-based.
