Which of the following pairs of acronym and its expansion is incorrectly matched?
ALAN, Local Area Network
BMAN, Metropolitan Area Network
CWAN, Wide Area Network
DVPN, Virtual Personal Network ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) VPN, Virtual Personal Network — VPN is incorrectly matched, so the answer is the VPN option.
Explanation
★VPN is incorrectly matched, so the answer is the VPN option.
★VPN actually stands for Virtual Private Network, not Virtual Personal Network.
★A VPN creates a secure private connection over a public network.
★LAN, meaning Local Area Network, is expanded correctly.
★MAN, meaning Metropolitan Area Network, and WAN, meaning Wide Area Network, are also correct.
★So only the VPN expansion is wrong.
