Which of the following is a zone, within a network, that is MOST likely to be accessed by both internal and external hosts?

An intranet is a private internal network accessible only to authorized employees and internal systems; it is intentionally isolated from external hosts on the public internet.

A VPN extends private network connectivity to authenticated remote users over an encrypted tunnel but does not define a shared zone that unauthenticated external hosts can access directly.

A DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) is a network zone positioned between internal and external firewall boundaries, with rules that permit both internal users and external internet hosts to access services hosted there - such as web servers, mail relays, and DNS - while preventing direct external access to the internal network.

A management VLAN is a dedicated internal segment used to administer network infrastructure devices such as switches and routers; it is isolated from external access as a fundamental security control.
