What is a characteristic of a monolithic architecture?
A . It is an application with multiple independent parts.
B . New capabilities are deployed by restarting a component of the application.
C . A service failure can bring down the whole application.
D . The components are platform-agnostic.

Answer: C

Explanation:

A monolitic app can be platform-agnostic but it’s not mandatory. But is the app is monolitic, a service failure (such as storage or network) will bring down the whole app/service. This is unlike the distributed application architecture where failure of one microcomponent can be detected and fixed dynamically.
