A proxy server is used as the computer

(i) with external access
(ii) acting as a backup
(iii) performing file handling
(iv) accessing user permissions

Worked SolutionAI Assisted

Answer: (i) with external access

Why: A proxy server sits between the internal clients and the outside internet, fetching resources on their behalf — so it is the computer with external access that works on behalf of internally-restricted hosts. It is not a backup machine, a file-handling server, or a permission-management host.
