Consider a medium sized office shared by 8 employees. Each employee is equipped with their own desktop computer which is connected to a central server located within the office space. The server is used for file sharing among employees. The office also has a single printer to which all desktops are connected to over a network, thus each employee is able to independently print documents from their own desktop. Which type of network would best facilitate the needs of all these employees? A. Personal Area Network (PAN) B. Local Area Network (LAN) C. Wide Area Network (WAN) D. Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)
