What does MAN stand for in networking?

  1. Major Area Network

  2. Metropolitan Area Network

  3. Managed Area Network

  4. Massive Area Network

The correct answer is: Metropolitan Area Network

A Major Area Network is incorrect because MAN stands for Metropolitan Area Network, not Major Area Network. C: Managed Area Network is incorrect because MAN stands for Metropolitan Area Network, not Managed Area Network. D: Massive Area Network is incorrect because MAN stands for Metropolitan Area Network, not Massive Area Network. MAN stands for Metropolitan Area Network, which is a computer network that connects multiple local area networks (LANs) within a specific geographical area. This allows for communication and data sharing between various locations within the metropolitan area. Other options such as Major Area Network, Managed Area Network, and Massive Area Network are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the purpose or scope of a MAN.
