ITPEC IP October 2022 — Question 32 of 100
A network using a carrier's communication lines to connect a head office and distant branches is a WAN. A Wide Area Network spans geographically separated sites, commonly using leased lines, VPN services, or other telecommunications-provider infrastructure.
Answer (c)
Why not others:
- networks connecting PCs, floors, or nearby buildings on the same premises are LANs or campus networks
- physical distance and use across separated sites distinguish the WAN case
Key rule: LAN covers a limited local area under one organization; WAN interconnects remote locations over provider or public infrastructure.
