Correct answer: C
Concept
Computer networks can be classified by the geographical area they cover. A local network serves a limited site, a metropolitan network spans a city-scale area, and a wide-area network connects distant regions.
Application
C denotes LAN, whose coverage is limited to a room, building, campus, or similarly small local area.
A denotes MAN, which interconnects networks across a metropolitan or city-scale area.
B denotes WAN, which spans the largest area among these three and can connect cities, countries, or continents.
Therefore the ascending coverage order LAN → MAN → WAN maps to C → A → B.
Cross-check
A campus can lie within a city, and a city can lie within a country or continent. This containment pattern independently confirms the same increasing order of network coverage.
Thus, the required sequence is C, A, B.
