Answer:

Central Server

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the major difference between a client/server environment and a peer-to-peer networking environment is that while a peer-to-peer networking environment does not have a central server and each workstation is made to share files equally with others on the network, the client/server environment has separate dedicated clients and servers in a network. Also, in a peer-to-peer networking environment, authentication of users is impossible, neither is there a central storage.
