Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A wide area network (WAN) is a network that covers a broad area (i.e., any telecommunications network that links across metropolitan, regional, or national boundaries) using private or public network transports. Choice C, "two or more LANs connected over a wide geographical area," accurately describes a WAN, as it involves the connection of local area networks (LANs) over distances that are typically wide, encompassing regions beyond a single building or campus.
