Which of the following statements are correct? A. Internet is larger than…

Concept: The internet is a public, global “network of networks” — millions of independently owned networks interconnected worldwide, accessible to anyone. An intranet is a private network confined to a single organisation and reachable only by its authorised members, so in reach and scale it is always far smaller than the global, public internet. The World Wide Web is a service that runs over the internet (web pages linked by hyperlinks accessed over HTTP) — it is a use of the internet, not a kind of private network.

Applying this to each statement:

• A. “Internet is larger than intranet” — Correct. A global public network is far larger in scope than any single organisation’s private network.

• B. “Intranet is larger than internet” — Wrong; it reverses the scale/scope relationship.

• C. “Internet and intranet are same” — Wrong; one is public and global, the other is private and organisation-bound (inter- = between, intra- = within).

• D. “Internet is a network of networks” — Correct; this is the standard definition of the internet.

• E. “World Wide Web is an example of intranet” — Wrong; the WWW is a public internet service, not a private intranet.

Cross-check & result: Only statements A and D survive. They are mutually consistent — D defines what the internet is, and A follows from that scale. Hence the correct combination is “A and D only.”
