Complete the sentence A spans a geographic area like a city, is larger than a LAN and smaller than WAN

metropolitan area network (MAN)

Explanation:

A local area network (LAN) refers to a group of personal computers (PCs) or terminals that are located within the same general area and connected by a common network cable (communication circuit), so that they can exchange information from one node of the network to another. A local area network (LAN) is typically used in small or limited areas such as a set of rooms, a single building, school, hospital, or a set of well-connected buildings.

On the other hand, a metropolitan area network (MAN) spans a geographic area like a city, is larger than a local area network (LAN) and smaller than wide area network (WAN).

Basically, a metropolitan area network (MAN) is formed by an aggregation of multiple local area network (LAN) that are interconnected using backbone provided by an internet service provider (ISP). A metropolitan area network (MAN) spans for about 5 kilometers to 50 kilometers in size.
