C

Answer to Question 2

A shared workspace is an area on a server in which team members can post documents, maintain membership lists, feature news and announcements, and collaborate on edits and updates. The core of a shared workspace is the document library, where members can store important information assets and keep track of all the edits. Some software for shared workspaces, such as Microsoft's Sharepoint, includes features for version control to ensure that older copies are maintained and no changes are lost. This centralized document library goes a long way toward eliminating the confusion and duplication that arise when team members are constantly sending revised versions back and forth over email.
