    In LAN all these items can be used... 1st Computer is obviously the main part. 2nd cables are used to interconect them. 3rd modem can b used to acces internet facilities n a common printer can also b used for printing purposes... Now coming to the answer ,since the main objective of LAN is to conect each other for sharing data n resources , therfore modem has less priority than a printer... Hence Modem

    +সন্দীপ দাস : My friend , basically LAN is WAN , read below (and i think the answer is C. Printer)
    One LAN can be connected to other LANs over any distance via telephone lines and radio waves.
    A system of LANs connected in this way is called a wide-area network (WAN). The difference between a LAN and WAN is that the wide-area network spans a relatively large geographical area.
