Why each option

For a small office with a few PCs and no dedicated server, a workgroup network is the most suitable and simplest networking model.

AWorkgroup networkCorrect

A workgroup network is a peer-to-peer networking model ideal for small environments with fewer than 10 computers and no central server, where each computer manages its own security and shares resources directly.

BPublic network

A public network refers to an untrusted network environment like a coffee shop Wi-Fi, not a type of internal network configuration for an office.

CWide area network

A wide area network (WAN) connects networks over large geographical distances and is not applicable for a small office's internal network setup.

DDomain network

A domain network requires a dedicated server (Domain Controller) to manage users, computers, and resources centrally, which is explicitly stated as not present in the scenario.
