An administrator purchases a new server, which contains only one Xeon processor. This server is also known as a:
The correct answer is B. multicore server. Intel Xeon processors are inherently multi-core CPUs, so a server with even a single Xeon socket is classified as a multicore server, not a single-core server.

Why each option
Intel Xeon processors are inherently multi-core CPUs, so a server with even a single Xeon socket is classified as a multicore server, not a single-core server.
Load balancing server describes a server's network role or function, not its processor or core architecture.
Intel Xeon processors integrate multiple processing cores on a single chip die, meaning one physical Xeon processor makes the entire server a multicore server. The classification 'multicore' refers to the core count per processor package, not the number of sockets. A single Xeon can contain anywhere from 4 to over 60 cores depending on the product generation.
Redundant server describes a failover or high-availability configuration, not a processor type or count.
Single-core describes a processor with only one processing core; all Intel Xeon processors ship with multiple cores by design.
