A network made up of interconnection of LANs within a limited geographic area is called?

• A. Campus Area Network (CAN)
• B. Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)
• C. Wide Area Network (WAN)
• D. Local Area Network (LAN)

Answer: (A)

A Campus Area Network is designed to interconnect multiple LANs within a limited geographic area, such as a university or corporate campus. This setup lets buildings on the same campus share high-speed links and centralized services while staying confined to that campus space. In comparison, a Local Area Network stays within a single building or site, a Metropolitan Area Network spans a city or metro region, and a Wide Area Network covers broad geographic areas, often across cities or countries.
