Detailed explanation-1: -The correct answer is LAN( Local Area Network), MAN( Metropolitan Area Network) and WAN(Wide Area Network).

Detailed explanation-3: -A Local Area Network or LAN for short is considered to be a far smaller network when compared directly with a Wide Area Network. A LAN will usually only cover a small area such as a building, a single site, a room or an office.
Detailed explanation-4: -5. The internet speed of LAN is very high, i.e., 1000 Mbps. The sped of MAN is moderate, i.e., 44-155 Mbps. The speed of WAN is relatively less than MAN and LAN, i.e., 150 Mbps.
Detailed explanation-5: -LAN supports significantly faster data transfer than WAN In comparison, WAN is significantly slower (approximately 150 Mbps) due to several reasons: There is a loss in speed as data packets travel through a long distance.
