Which acronym corresponds to a network that connects multiple LANs over a campus?

• A. LAN
• B. CAN
• C. MAN
• D. WAN

Answer: (B)

A campus-area network links several LANs spread across a campus, such as multiple buildings on a university or corporate campus, into one cohesive network. It sits between a single LAN and wider networks in scope, typically using high-speed links (often fiber) and shared infrastructure to connect the different LANs within the campus, so resources and services can be accessed as if they were on one network.

The other options describe different scales: a LAN is limited to a single building or location, a MAN spans a city, and a WAN covers large geographic areas such as regions or countries. So this scenario—connecting multiple LANs across a campus—best matches a campus-area network.
