Network Classification | MCQs

Explanation

Networks are typically classified into four main types based on distance (geographical coverage):

1. PAN (Personal Area Network) – Very short distance (e.g., Bluetooth, USB connections).
2. LAN (Local Area Network) – Limited area (e.g., home, office, or school network).
3. MAN (Metropolitan Area Network) – City-wide coverage (e.g., ISP networks in a city).
4. WAN (Wide Area Network) – Large-scale, global reach (e.g., the Internet).
