Correct Answer
A. LANExplanation
A LAN, or Local Area Network, is a type of network that connects personal computers within a small geographic area, such as a single building. It allows for the sharing of resources, such as printers and files, and enables communication between devices within the network. LANs are commonly used in homes, offices, schools, and other small-scale environments where a limited number of devices need to be connected. Unlike WANs (Wide Area Networks) or MANs (Metropolitan Area Networks), LANs have a smaller coverage area and are typically easier to set up and manage. TAN (Tiny Area Network) is not a commonly used term in networking.Rate this question:
