The game server one is incorrect. The client (PC, tablet, phone) can request information from the server, but the server does not request information from the client. The server processes the information sent to it from the client. Also, the high scores would be more likely in a database on the server, rather than on the client.

The answer is "A game server asking about the highest points ever scored and the game and the client returning the information. ". This is because unlike in the other options given, in this example the server is requesting information from client. In a typical client/server response the client request information from the server and the server delivers the information back.
