What type of network is most often used in small businesses?

The correct answer is: LAN

A LAN (Local Area Network) is most commonly used in small businesses because it allows for fast data transfer and communication within a localized area, such as an office or building. A MAN (Metropolitan Area Network) is larger in scale and typically used by organizations or businesses spread out over a city. A PAN (Personal Area Network) is for personal use and typically involves the connection of a person's devices, such as a phone and computer. A WAN (Wide Area Network) is used for larger geographic regions, such as connecting multiple offices across different cities or countries. These options are incorrect because they are not as suitable or relevant for a small business setting.
