What type of network would typically span a city or a large campus?

A Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) is designed to cover a larger geographical area than a Local Area Network (LAN), usually spanning a city or a large campus. MANs typically interconnect multiple LANs, allowing for communication between various locations within the metropolitan area. They facilitate high-speed data transfer and connectivity for businesses, educational institutions, and government facilities within that specific location.

While a Local Area Network is limited to a smaller environment such as a single building or a group of buildings, a Wide Area Network typically extends over large distances, potentially covering states or countries, making it less appropriate for city-sized coverage. A Personal Area Network is used for short-range connections between devices, often within personal space, thus unsuitable for city or campus-wide applications. Therefore, the correct identification of a network that spans a city or large campus is indeed a Metropolitan Area Network.
