An administrator for a wireless network is planning the company ' s floor plan using...

The correct answer is D. WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) .

According to CompTIA A+ Core 1 220-1201 objectives under Networking:

A WLAN is a wireless network that covers a limited area such as an office, building, or campus.

Using a heat map helps administrators determine optimal placement of access points, identify areas of weak signal, and plan coverage for employees’ devices.

Why the other options are incorrect:

A. SAN (Storage Area Network): Connects storage devices over a network; not used for wireless coverage.

B. PAN (Personal Area Network): Covers a very small area, such as a single person’s devices (Bluetooth, USB, etc.), not a whole office.

C. MAN (Metropolitan Area Network): Covers a city or large geographic area; too large for a floor plan.
