Which option correctly describes a WAN network?
A WAN (Wide Area Network) is a type of network that spans a large geographical area, often consisting of multiple cities, states, or even countries. It connects multiple smaller networks, including LANs (Local Area Networks) or MANs (Metropolitan Area Networks), and allows for communication and resource sharing over long distances. Given this definition, the correct option is a group of computer resources that communicates between geographically separate locations.
