  • B.It provides real-time data consistency.
  • C.It may lead to a single point of failure.
  • D.It can be easily scaled.

Answer: C

A disadvantage of a centralised database is that it may lead to a single point of failure.

All data is held at one site, so if that server or its network link fails, every user loses access, and a disaster there can lose the data unless backups exist.

Better security through limited access and real-time consistency are advantages of centralisation, and scaling a single central server is harder, not easier.
