Explanation

A thin client is a low-cost, low-power computer designed for lightweight tasks such as word processing, email, and web browsing - often relying on a server or cloud for heavy processing. It is the most cost-effective and appropriate recommendation for simple word processing.

A home server (C) is designed to serve files and resources, not for end-user desktop work.
