Which of the following uses a client/server model that provides system management which enables administrators to monitor server characteristics?

Self-Monitoring Analysis Reporting Technology (SMART) is an internal monitoring system for hard drives and SSDs, not a general network-wide client/server management protocol.

Desktop Management Interface (DMI) is an older standard for managing hardware components locally, not a primary client/server protocol for general server characteristic monitoring.

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) operates using a manager-agent model, where an SNMP manager (client) queries SNMP agents (servers) running on network devices and servers. This mechanism enables administrators to collect data and monitor system characteristics remotely, fitting the described client/server system management model.

Microsoft Management Console (MMC) is a framework for hosting administrative tools (snap-ins) on Windows, not a client/server monitoring protocol itself.
