CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1101) — Question 411

Which of the following differentiates PAN from LAN?

Answer options

• A. PAN creates a wireless connection between smart devices.
• B. PAN creates a highly secure environment.
• C. PAN creates a faster connection.
• D. PAN needs regular maintenance to function properly.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because a Personal Area Network (PAN) typically creates a wireless connection specifically designed for close-range communication between smart devices. Options B, C, and D do not accurately reflect the fundamental differences, as security, speed, and maintenance can vary across different network types and are not exclusive to PAN.
