友人グループがビデオゲームをプレイするために部屋に集まっています。友人の 1 人がゲーム サーバーを所有しています。グループ全員が同じサーバーとインターネットに接続できるようにするには、次のどのネットワーク タイプを使用する必要がありますか。
正解:C
The appropriate network type for this scenario is a Local Area Network (LAN), which is designed for small, localized networks, such as within a single building or room. LANs are ideal for gaming because they provide high-speed, low-latency connections.
* Option A (SAN): Incorrect. A Storage Area Network is used for data storage, not for gaming or general networking.
* Option B (MAN): Incorrect. A Metropolitan Area Network covers a city or campus, far exceeding the scope needed for a gaming setup in a single room.
* Option D (PAN): Incorrect. A Personal Area Network is designed for a single user, such as Bluetooth devices, and would not support multiple devices connecting to a game server.
