Detailed explanation-1: -Physical – The physical network topology refers to the actual connections (wires, cables, etc.) of how the network is arranged. Setup, maintenance, and provisioning tasks require insight into the physical network.
Detailed explanation-2: -Network topology is the arrangement of the elements (links, nodes, etc.) of a communication network.
Detailed explanation-3: -The correct answer is Network topology. Network Topology is the physical layout of computers, cables, switches, routers, and other components of a network. This term can also refer to the underlying network architecture, such as Ethernet or Token Ring.
Detailed explanation-4: -Bus topology is a network type where every device is connected to a single cable that runs from one end of the network to the other.
Detailed explanation-5: -The physical topology of a network refers to the configuration of cables, computers, and other peripherals. Physical topology should not be confused with logical topology which is the method used to pass information between workstations. Logical topology was discussed in the Protocol chapter.
