B2, 3, 1
C2, 1, 3 ✓ Correct
D3, 1, 2
Correct answer: (C) 2, 1, 3
Explanation

In descending order of geographic reach the networks run WAN, then MAN, then LAN.

Statement 2, WAN, is the widest, spanning cities, countries or the globe like the internet.

Statement 1, MAN, is mid sized, covering a city or a large campus area.

Statement 3, LAN, is the smallest, covering a single building, office or home.

As area grows the network relies more on leased lines and public infrastructure.

A LAN is usually owned by one organisation, while a WAN often links many separate networks.
