What type of communication process allows two or more computers to send and receive data over a network?

  1. File Transfer

  2. Networking

  3. Storage

  4. Data Retrieval

The correct answer is: Networking

Networking is the correct answer because it is the process of connecting and transferring data between two or more computers over a network. File transfer typically refers to the act of transferring files between two devices, rather than the entire communication process. Storage refers to the ability to store data, but not necessarily transfer it between devices. Data retrieval is the process of accessing and retrieving data from a storage location, but not specifically related to network communication. Overall, networking is the most accurate and specific term that refers to the communication process between two or more computers over a network.
