Why each option
A Personal Area Network (PAN) connects devices over short range using technologies like Bluetooth, and a Bluetooth mouse is the only listed device that operates on a PAN.
A corporate access point extender is a WLAN infrastructure device that extends LAN coverage, not a PAN device.
A Bluetooth mouse communicates using Bluetooth, which is the defining wireless technology of a Personal Area Network. PANs operate over very short distances - typically under 10 meters - and Bluetooth is their most common implementation. All other listed devices operate on LANs or WLANs, which have broader coverage and infrastructure requirements.
A home WiFi router is a WLAN device operating on a Local Area Network, not a PAN.
A network-enabled printer connects to a LAN via Ethernet or WiFi, not a short-range PAN technology.
