CIt is a network where computers connected to the Internet act as gateways to other devices.

DIt is a widely available public network of interconnected computer networks.

Correct answer: (A) It is an internal network of an organization that uses Internet protocols and technologies.

Explanation

An intranet is a private network internal to one organisation that runs on the same internet protocols and technologies.

A wide area network covering a large area with rented telecommunication lines describes a WAN, not an intranet.

A network where internet-connected computers act as gateways to other devices is not the defining trait of an intranet.

A widely available public network of interconnected networks describes the internet itself.

Only staff inside the organisation normally access the intranet, often behind a firewall.

An extranet extends limited intranet access to trusted outside partners.
