Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the three main topologies rely on a single main cable to transmit data packets?
A
Ring
B
Star
C
Bus
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Bus topology uses one main cable to which all nodes are directly connected.

Detailed explanation-2: -In a bus topology, all the nodes are linked using a single cable with a terminator on both ends. This configuration sees one main cable acting as the backbone for the whole network. In such an arrangement, the server node transmits data from one end of the cable and in a single direction to the client node.

Detailed explanation-3: -Point-to-point network topology is the simplest network topology used when only two computers or other network devices are connected to each other. A single piece of cable is used in this case.

Detailed explanation-4: -Bus topology, also known as line topology, is a type of network topology in which all devices in the network are connected by one central RJ-45 network cable or coaxial cable.

Detailed explanation-5: -In a bus topology, all nodes in the network are connected directly to a central cable that runs up and down the network-this cable is known as the backbone . Data is sent up and down the backbone until it reaches the correct node.
