CHALLENGE QUESTION:Why is a Ring network more secure than a Bus?

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Stars feature better fault tolerance: any single local cable cut or NIC failure affects one node only. Since each node is wired back to a central point, more cable is required as opposed to bus (where one cable run connects nodes to each other).
Detailed explanation-2: -Star Topology is cost-efficient as compared to Ring Topology. Ring Topology is costlier as compared to Star Topology. In a Star Topology, the data travels from the central hub or router to all the nodes. In a Ring Topology, the data travels from one node to the other.
