Which term labels the network used to connect devices within a single campus or building?

• A. Wide Area Network
• B. Virtual Private Network
• C. Local Area Network
• D. Bridge

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is identifying a network by geographic scope. A Local Area Network is the network that connects devices within a single building or campus, providing high-speed communication over a limited area. It typically uses Ethernet and Wi‑Fi and is usually managed by one organization.

Wide Area Networks span large distances, such as between cities or countries, using different infrastructure. A Virtual Private Network isn’t about the size of the network—it’s a secure connection method that can run over the Internet or other networks. A Bridge is a device that links separate network segments at the data link layer, not a description of the network’s geographic reach.

So, for devices within a single campus or building, the appropriate term is Local Area Network.
