I want to ask this question from Application Attributes in section Moving Applications to the Cloud of Cloud Computing

Answer 1

Correct choice is (a) An application that runs as a service on the Internet has a client portion that makes a request and a server portion that responds to that request

For explanation I would say: The request has been decoupled from the response because the transaction is executing in two or more places.
