Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An extranet is a private network that allows select members of a company's supply chain, such as vendors, suppliers, and customers, to access certain parts of the company's intranet. Therefore, the best choice is D, a private network accessible by select members of the supply chain. A is incorrect because it is restricted to only the company's employees. B is incorrect because it allows public access to the network, which is not the case with an extranet. C is incorrect because it implies that the entire supply chain has access, which is not always the case.
