The word at the end of several of the member functions in the accompanying class definition specifies that these functions cannot modify the member variables of a clockType object.

Const.

Explanation:

In C++ programming language, if you wish to have your compiler deny or prevent access to a member function in modifying (changing) a calling object's private member variables in a line of code, you should declare the member as a const function. Therefore, the member function is simply declared as a constant by the compiler.

The word const at the end of several of the member functions in the accompanying class definition specifies that these functions cannot modify the member variables of a clockType object.

solution:

this situation is called an ip conflict.

data from a server is sent in small bits called packets. in an ip conflict, some packets will end up in one computer while some other packets will end up in another computer.

so…overall none of the computers get the data as the original message or picture being sent by the server cannot be retrieved with only half the packets. so it will show up as an error.

thus the final answer is d.
