Which of the following would be the most likely networking set-up for a group of students who bring along their own computers and get together at someone's house on the weekends to play games?

A LAN (local area network) connects devices in a limited area, such as a home. The students can connect their computers to the same home network to play games together, so the most likely setup is a LAN. A WAN covers a much larger geographic area, while a VPN is a secure connection over another network; server-client describes a network arrangement rather than the local setting.
