Why each option

A Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) is the most suitable technology for connecting multiple company locations spread across a city, as it is designed for high-speed connectivity within such a geographical scope.

AMANCorrect

A Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) is an interconnector of Local Area Networks (LANs) within a specific geographical area, such as a city, and is therefore best suited to connect multiple company locations spread across a city. It provides high-speed connectivity over a larger area than a LAN but is more localized than a WAN.

BWAN

A Wide Area Network (WAN) connects networks over large geographical distances, such as across states or continents, which is an excessive solution for locations within a single city.

CLAN

A Local Area Network (LAN) connects devices within a single, limited geographical area, such as an office building, and cannot connect multiple locations spread across a city.

DVLAN

A Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) is a logical segmentation of a LAN into separate broadcast domains and does not connect geographically dispersed physical locations.
