Which term describes an internet connection used to share information, operating system, or computing only within an organization?

• A. On the Internet.
• B. A public email system.
• C. An internal private network used within an organization.
• D. A wireless wide area network.

Answer: (C)

This describes an intranet. An intranet is a private network that uses Internet technologies but is restricted to members of an organization, so information, applications, and computing resources can be shared securely only within that organization. It’s typically protected behind firewalls and requires authentication, with remote access often provided via VPN. That makes it different from using the public Internet, which is open to anyone, and from a public email system, which is about external messaging rather than internal resource sharing. A wireless wide area network is a type of connection spanning large areas and isn’t inherently tied to being internal-only, so it doesn’t capture the requirement of sharing information and computing exclusively within one organization.
