A Correct answer
Explanation

WAN (Wide Area Network) connects computers and networks across large geographic areas, such as cities, countries, or continents, using leased lines or satellite links. Option B is a common misconception but incorrect, while C and D are fabricated terms.

AI explanation

WAN stands for Wide Area Network — a network that spans a large geographic area (connecting multiple LANs across cities, countries, or continents), as opposed to a LAN (Local Area Network). 'World Area Network', 'Wide Artificial Network', and 'Wide Access Network' are not real, standard networking terms; they're plausible-sounding distractors built from the same words.
