A web application is a software program that runs on a web server and is accessed through a browser over a network such as the Internet.
Unlike desktop applications which are installed locally, web applications are stored and run on a remote server.
Users access them via URLs, and the processing happens on the server, not on the user’s device.
This setup enables users to access the application from any location without installation, as long as there’s internet connectivity.
Popular examples include Gmail, Facebook, Google Docs, etc.
Therefore, the correct answer is (A) Remote.
