The type of extranet that will allow businesses within an industry to share information or integrate shared business processes is the Value Add Network - VAN.

Here's why:

1. Storage Area Network - SAN: This is a network which provides access to consolidated, block-level data storage. It is primarily used to make storage devices, such as disk arrays, tape libraries, and optical jukeboxes, accessible to servers so that the devices appear as locally attached devices to the operating system. It doesn't facilitate information sharing between businesses.

2. Metropolitan Area Network - MAN: This is a network that interconnects users with computer resources in a geographic area or region larger than that covered by even a large local area network (LAN) but smaller than the area covered by a wide area network (WAN). It's used for city or campus size networks, not for sharing information between businesses.

3. Campus Area Network - CAN: This is a network of multiple interconnected local area networks (LAN) in a limited geographical area. It's used for small geographical areas like a campus or a military base, not for sharing information between businesses.

4. Value Add Network - VAN: This is a hosted service offering that acts as an intermediary between business partners sharing standards based or proprietary data via shared business processes. VANs have been around since the 1970s when companies used them to facilitate electronic data interchange (EDI) between different business partners. This is the correct answer as it allows businesses within an industry to share information or integrate shared business processes.
