Answer

B. There are many separate points of access that pose a security risk.

Explanation

In a peer-to-peer network, each device can act as both a client and a server, allowing direct communication between devices without the need for a central server. However, this decentralized nature introduces security risks as there are multiple points of access, making it difficult to enforce centralized security measures and increasing the likelihood of unauthorized access or data breaches.
