- A.
  
  TRUE
- B.

Correct Answer
A. TRUE

Explanation
A computer network is indeed a network of interconnected computers or servers. This means that multiple computers or servers are connected together, allowing them to share resources, such as files, printers, and internet connections. These interconnected computers can communicate with each other, enabling the sharing of data and information. Therefore, the statement "Computer network is a network of interconnected computers or servers" is true.

B. WAN

Explanation
WAN stands for Wide Area Network, which is a network that covers a large geographical area, such as multiple cities or even countries. LAN stands for Local Area Network, which covers a smaller area, typically within a building or campus. MAN stands for Metropolitan Area Network, which covers a larger area than a LAN but smaller than a WAN, usually within a city or town. Therefore, WAN has the widest coverage among the three options.

_______ is a set of rules which is used by computers to communicate with each other across a network.

Correct Answer(s)
Protocol

Explanation
A protocol is a set of rules that governs how computers communicate with each other over a network. It defines the format and order of messages exchanged between devices, as well as the actions to be taken in response to different situations. Without protocols, computers would not be able to understand each other and establish successful communication. Protocols ensure that data is transmitted accurately and efficiently, allowing for seamless network communication.
