CISA Certified Information Systems Auditor – Question2872

The MOST likely explanation for the use of applets in an Internet application is that:

A. it is sent over the network from the server.
B. the server does not run the program and the output is not sent over the network.
C. they improve the performance of the web server and network.
D. it is a JAVA program downloaded through the web browser and executed by the web server of the client machine.

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

Explanation:
An applet is a JAVA program that is sent over the network from the web server, through a web browser and to the client machine; the code is then run on the machine. Since the server does not run the program and the output is not sent over the network, the performance on the web server and network-over which the server and client are connected-drastically improves through the use of applets. Performance improvement is more important than the reasons offered in choices A and B. Since JAVA virtual machine
(JVM) is embedded in most web browsers, the applet download through the web browser runs on the client machine from the web browser, not from the web server, making choice D incorrect.
