When a group of computers is connected together in a small area without the help of telephone lines, it is called :
-
- Remote Communication Network (RCN)
- Local Area Network (LAN)
- Wide Area Network (WAN)
- Value Added Network (VAN)
Correct Option: B
A local area network (LAN) is a computer network that interconnects computers in a limited area such as a home, school, computer laboratory, or office building using network media. The defining characteristics of LANs, in contrast to wide area networks (WANs), include their usually higher data-transfer rates, smaller geographic area, and lack of a need for leased telecommunication lines.
