A VPN is a 'real' private network, huh? Well, I guess that makes it a 'virtual' reality then. Option E is the perfect choice for the 'virtually' uninformed.

A VPN between a machine and a private network, but never a remote network? Sounds like someone's been watching too many spy movies. Option D is a no-go.

A VPN requires a private dedicated communication? That's about as useful as a screen door on a submarine. Option C is a hard pass for me.

Hmm, a VPN between a hospital and a clinic, huh? Sounds like a medical emergency waiting to happen if the connection goes down. Better make sure that VPN is rock-solid!

I think option B) A VPN is used within the organization only and a firewall is needed to communicate with the external network, makes more sense in this context.
