CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1001) — Question 238

An office has a network that has all computers connected to two switches. The switches are connected with a fiber cable. The computers and switches are all located in the same building. Which of the following network types does this describe?

Answer options

• A. WAN
• B. PAN
• C. LAN
• D. MAN

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, LAN (Local Area Network), as it refers to a network that covers a small geographical area, such as a single building. WAN (Wide Area Network) covers larger distances, PAN (Personal Area Network) is for very short ranges, and MAN (Metropolitan Area Network) spans a city or a large campus, making them unsuitable for this scenario.
