I'm pretty sure the answer is B. Web server. CGI programs are server-side scripts that run on the web server, not on the client or router. This is a key concept in web development that I remember from my classes.

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. CGI stands for Common Gateway Interface, which is a way for web servers to interact with external programs. So the CGI program must be executed on the web server, not the client or router. I'm going to go with B. Web server.

Okay, this seems straightforward. I'll need to configure the document to force change tracking, and then set the password to '789' to stop the tracking.
