Why each option
A Personal Area Network (PAN) is the smallest network type geographically, designed to cover the immediate workspace of a single individual, typically within a few meters.
A SAN (Storage Area Network) is a dedicated high-speed network for block-level storage access and is not defined by geographic workspace coverage.
A PAN (Personal Area Network) covers the area immediately surrounding an individual, such as a desk or personal workspace, typically spanning up to 10 meters. It connects personal devices like smartphones, laptops, and wearables, and is commonly implemented via Bluetooth or USB technologies.
A LAN (Local Area Network) covers a larger area such as a building, floor, or campus, not an individual's personal workspace.
A CAN (Campus Area Network) spans multiple buildings across a campus or corporate grounds, far exceeding an individual's workspace.
A WAN (Wide Area Network) spans large geographic distances such as cities, countries, or continents.
