Computer Proficiency Practice Test

Which is a Network Type?

Local-Area Networks (LANs) Personal-Area Networks (PANs) Campus-Area Networks (CANs) Metropolitan-Area Networks (MANs)

Correct Answer:

Campus-Area Networks (CANs)

Explanation:

Network types are categorized by geographic scope, from small to large. A Campus-Area Network specifically connects multiple buildings within a campus—like a university or corporate campus—using high-capacity links and shared infrastructure to act as one campus-wide network. This places CANs between a single LAN (which stays within one location) and broader scope options like MANs (city-wide) or WANs (country or global). Because the question targets the term that denotes a campus-scale network, this category best fits that description, making it the correct choice.
