Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
what is a network topology?
A
a network topology is a pattern in which nodes (i.e., computers, printers, routers or other devices) are connected to a local area network (LAN) or other network via links (e.g., twisted pair copper wire cable or optical fiber cable). There are four principal topologies used in LANs:bus, ring, star and mesh
B
a physical infrastructure of a computers gentetics e.g starburst ring
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Network topology is the topological structure of a network and may be depicted physically or logically. It is an application of graph theory wherein communicating devices are modeled as nodes and the connections between the devices are modeled as links or lines between the nodes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mesh topology is a computer network topology in which nodes are interconnected with each other. In other words, direct communication takes place between the nodes in the network. There are mainly two types of Mesh: Full Mesh: In which each node is connected to every other node in the network.

Detailed explanation-3: -The term network topology refers to the arrangements, either physical or logical, of nodes and connections within a network. It could be said that a topology explains how a network is physically connected, and how the information in the network flows logically.
