Answer
Circuit switched
Reason — When we make a telephone call, the switching equipment within the telephone system seeks out a physical copper path all the way from the sender's telephone to the receiver's telephone. Hence, an end-to-end path is set up before any data can be sent. Therefore, a local telephone network is an example of a circuit-switched network.
