Selected Answer: A
A. They are optimized for specific tasks making them more efficient. Google's purpose-built servers are designed to handle specific tasks or workloads, such as machine learning, data analytics, or high-performance computing. By being optimized for these specific tasks, they can achieve better performance and efficiency compared to general-purpose servers. This optimization leads to faster processing, lower latency, and better overall resource utilization, which can be more cost-effective and powerful for certain use cases.

Why the other options are incorrect: B. They are backward compatible with legacy disk drives: While some systems may provide backward compatibility, purpose-built servers are not specifically designed with backward compatibility in mind. Their main goal is to optimize performance for specific workloads, not to maintain compatibility with older or legacy hardware components like disk drives. General-purpose servers, on the other hand, are more likely to be designed for compatibility with a wider range of hardware. C. They are cheaper to build than standard servers: Purpose-built servers are typically more expensive to develop and produce than standard servers. This is because they require specialized hardware and customization to meet the needs of specific tasks. While they can offer better performance for particular workloads, they are generally more costly to manufacture compared to general-purpose servers, which are designed to handle a wide variety of tasks.

D. They run software that cannot be deployed on standard servers: This is incorrect because purpose-built servers are not designed to run software that can't be deployed on standard servers. Instead, their main advantage is hardware optimization for specific workloads. The software they run can typically be deployed on standard servers as well, though it may not perform as efficiently without the specialized hardware.
