Answer:

The system described in the question is a multiple-server, multiphase system.

Option B ("multiple-server, multiphase system") is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a multiple-server system, there are multiple servers (i.e., advisors and financial professionals) that are responsible for handling requests from clients (i.e., students). In this case, there are three advisors and two financial professionals, so it is a multiple-server system.

A multiphase system is one in which a client must go through multiple phases or stages in order to complete a request. In this case, students must first visit with one of the three advisors and then with one of the two financial professionals, so it is a multiphase system.

Option A ("multiple-server, single-phase system") is incorrect because the system described in the question has multiple servers and multiple phases.

Option C ("single-server, single-phase system") is incorrect because the system has multiple servers and multiple phases.

Option D ("single-server, multiphase system") is incorrect because the system has multiple servers.
