Solution

The main function of LAN (Local Area Network) is to connect several terminals that are close to each other. So, the answer is B. LAN.

Here's a step-by-step explanation:

  1. PAN (Personal Area Network) is a network arranged within a personal device, used for data transmission amongst devices such as computers and telephones.
  2. LAN (Local Area Network) is a network that connects computers and other devices in a specific area, such as a home or office.
  3. MAN (Metropolitan Area Network) is a network that connects users with computer resources in a geographic area or region larger than that covered by even a large Local Area Network but smaller than the area covered by a Wide Area Network (WAN).
  4. WAN (Wide Area Network) is a telecommunications network that extends over a large geographic area for the primary purpose of computer networking.

So, based on these definitions, LAN is the network that connects several terminals that are close to each other.
