Option A is partially correct as a VPN can be implemented as a security appliance, but it doesn't necessarily have to be behind an organization's firewall. Option B is also partially correct as a VPN can allow remote users to access entity resources, but it is not limited to wireless, hand-held devices. Option C is incorrect as a VPN is not software designed to protect hard-wired LANs exclusively. Therefore, option D is the best choice as it correctly combines the partial truths in options A and B.
