Explanation

In a client/server model, the client application runs locally on a user's workstation but communicates with a centralized server (in this case, another workstation acting as a file server) to store and retrieve data. This matches the described behavior exactly. A network-based application runs entirely over the network rather than being installed locally. Application streaming delivers the application itself over the network dynamically. Peer-to-peer involves direct communication between equivalent nodes without a dedicated server role.
