A small company has 5 servers and 50 clients.

By segmenting the network into separate subnets for clients and servers, you can control the types of traffic that flow between these segments using access control lists (ACLs) and firewall rules. This can enhance security by limiting access to critical server resources and reducing the risk of unauthorized access.

Subnets will split domains to limit failures (Option C):

Segmenting the network into different subnets helps contain network issues within a specific segment, preventing them from affecting the entire network. This approach improves network stability and reliability, as issues in the client subnet will not impact the server subnet and vice versa.
