Explanation
Option A is correct because closed computerized systems are characterized precisely by their isolation from external networks and restricted access controls - they operate in a contained environment where only authorized users or processes can interact with the system.
Why the distractors fail:
- B describes the opposite - open internet platforms without security represent open systems, not closed ones.
- C is a nonsensical distractor; system classification (open vs. closed) has no relationship to social networking use cases.
- D confuses access architecture with processing capability - closed systems can be highly efficient at data processing; "closed" refers to connectivity and access, not performance.
Memory tip: Think of a closed system like a locked filing cabinet - it's not connected to the outside world and only approved people have the key. "Closed" = controlled boundaries, not broken functionality.
