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
Explanation

VPN actually stands for Virtual Private Network, so pairing it with Virtual Personal Network is the wrong match.

A VPN creates a secure encrypted tunnel over a public network for private communication.

LAN correctly expands to Local Area Network, covering a small area like an office.

MAN correctly expands to Metropolitan Area Network, spanning a city.

WAN correctly expands to Wide Area Network, connecting distant locations such as the Internet.

These network types differ mainly by the geographic area they cover.
