A
If one cable is disabled the whole network can crash
B
If the central hub crashes the whole network breaks
C
Only four computers can be attached to the ring
D
Everyone has to sit facing each other
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A single computer failure can disrupt the entire network. As a result, bus and ring topologies have difficulties, such as the possibility of the entire network being deactivated if one connection fails. Hence the correct answer is Bus and Ring Topology.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ring Topology: If a connection fails, then the entire network will be affected, and communication between all devices will stop. In a ring topology, data travels in one direction only. Therefore, if a connection fails, data cannot travel through alternative paths, and communication will stop.
