A Wide Area Network (WAN) is larger than a Local Area Network (LAN).
- **LAN (Local Area Network)**: This type of network is typically confined to a small geographic area, such as a single building or a group of buildings. It is used for connecting computers and devices within a limited area.
- **WAN (Wide Area Network)**: In contrast, a WAN covers a much larger geographic area, which can span cities, countries, or even continents. It is used to connect multiple LANs and facilitate long-distance communication.
Therefore, the correct answer is **WAN**.
