Answer 1

The correct answer is (a) Complex design

Explanation: The centralized architecture is one where all the components are linked to a single main frame computer for processing. The design is simple and software preparation and update is easy as the computer is easily accessible but requires long data buses running from the component to the computer which increases weight.
