Why each option
A PAN (Personal Area Network) is a network centered on and surrounding a single individual, typically within a range of a few meters.
A LAN (Local Area Network) connects multiple users across a building or campus and is not centered on a single individual.
A Personal Area Network is defined by its association with one person's devices, covering a very short range typically under 10 meters, and is commonly implemented via Bluetooth, USB, or infrared connections. Examples include connecting a smartphone, wireless headset, and laptop together. The 'personal' qualifier specifically distinguishes it from broader network types that serve groups, buildings, or geographic regions.
Cloud refers to remote, internet-hosted computing and storage infrastructure shared across many users worldwide, not a personal network.
A MAN (Metropolitan Area Network) spans a city or large geographic area and connects multiple LANs, which is far broader than a single person's network.
