Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This exemplifies a Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) as it connects two buildings in the same town. The fact that the accounting computers are connected to each other and management can access data through the connection between the buildings suggests a MAN. The other options are not applicable as a Wide Area Network (WAN) would connect computers over larger distances, a Storage Area Network (SAN) would be used for data storage and retrieval, a Personal Area Network (PAN) would be for personal devices and a Campus Area Network (CAN) would be for a larger area like a university or corporate campus.
