C Correct answer
Explanation

In Wide Area Network terminology, the subnet is the collection of transmission lines and switching elements (routers) that move packets from the source host to the destination host. The hosts themselves are considered external to the subnet. Therefore, the subnet consists of both the physical lines and the routers.
