B. connects server and client device to a network.
An endpoint is a device or software application that acts as a point of origin or destination for data transmitted over a network. Endpoints can include computers, smartphones, servers, printers, and other networked devices.
The function of an endpoint on a network is to connect a client device or a server to a network so that it can send or receive data. Endpoints can also provide additional functionality such as security, data backup, or remote access.
Option A is incorrect as providing wireless services is typically the function of a wireless access point (WAP) rather than an endpoint.
Option C is incorrect as recording data and transmitting it to a file server is a task that can be performed by a client device, but not necessarily by an endpoint.
Option D is incorrect as forwarding traffic between VLANs is typically the function of a layer 3 switch or a router, rather than an endpoint.
B is wrong. intermediate devices connects server and client to a network .example of a intermediate device is switch . example of endpoint is server,laptop
but on an end point, which can be "computers, smartphones, servers, printers, and other networked devices." you can record data and transmit to a file server... this makes C the correct answer
Answer is C.
In networking, an endpoint is usually:
A device at the "edge" of the network
Like a PC, smartphone, printer, IP camera, VoIP phone, etc.
It sends or receives data — not routes or forwards it
So, if a device records data and transmits it to a server (like saving a document from a PC to a shared drive), it's acting as an endpoint.
❌ Why the others are wrong:
A. provides wireless services to users in a building
➤ That’s an access point, not an endpoint.
B. connects server and client device to a network
➤ Sounds good, but it's too vague. That’s the job of switches or NICs, not endpoints themselves.
D. forwards traffic between VLANs on a network
➤ That’s exactly what a router or Layer 3 switch does, not an endpoint.
endpoint = An endpoint is any device that can connect to a network and communicate with other devices or applications on that network.
My vote is for C.

An endpoint is a device or software application that acts as a point of origin or destination for data transmitted over a network. Endpoints can include computers, smartphones, servers, printers, and other networked devices.
This is a terrible question.
A. Provides wireless services to users in a building: This describes an access point (AP), not an endpoint.
B. Connects server and client device to a network: This describes the function of network switches or routers, not endpoints.
D. Forwards traffic between VLANs on a network: This is the role of a router or a Layer 3 switch, not an endpoint.
An endpoint in a network refers to a device that serves as a communication endpoint for data, such as a workstation, laptop, smartphone, or IoT device. These devices allow users to interact with the network by performing tasks such as recording data, accessing services, or transmitting data to servers.
Why not the other options?
A. provides wireless services to users in a building: This describes the role of a wireless access point (WAP), which is not considered an endpoint. Endpoints consume network services, not provide them.
B. connects server and client device to a network: This describes the function of a network switch or router, which facilitates connections but is not an endpoint itself.
D. forwards traffic between VLANs on a network: This is the role of a Layer 3 switch or router, not an endpoint.
Very sad that they try to confuse rather than checking the knowledge. I would go for B because C seems too specific and irrelevant in the framework of endpoints.
I think the answer is B. This is because endpoints are devices like computers, phones, and servers that connect to the network. The key distinction here is that the endpoint itself connects to the network—it doesn’t perform the role of networking infrastructure (like switches or routers do). So while C describes an action that endpoints can perform, B better describes the role of an endpoint in general.
