When I connect my mobile phone with my desktop using a data cable to transfer images, what type of network is formed?

Correct option is C

The correct answer is (c) PAN.
Explanation:
● PAN stands for Personal Area Network.
● It refers to the smallest scale of networking, typically used for communicating between devices belonging to a single person.
● Connecting a phone to a desktop via a USB data cable is a classic example of a wired PAN13.
Information Booster:
● PANs can be wireless (WPAN) using technologies like Bluetooth or Zigbee.
● The range of a PAN is typically very short, usually limited to about 10 meters or the immediate vicinity of the user.
● LAN (Local Area Network) covers a slightly larger area like a single office or home.
Additional Knowledge:
● MAN (Metropolitan Area Network) – Connects users across a geographic area the size of a city.
● WAN (Wide Area Network) – Covers a large geographic distance, such as the entire internet.
