Question

If all devices are connected to a central hub then this topology is called

• A. Bus topology
• B. Ring topology
• C. Star topology
• D. Tree topology

Hint:

Visualize the network layout. A central point with lines radiating out to each device looks like a star, which makes the name easy to remember.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Define the characteristics of the described topology. The key feature is that all devices (nodes) connect to a single, central point (a hub or a switch).
Step 2: Compare this with the given options.

(A) Bus topology: All devices connect to a single main cable (the bus).
(B) Ring topology: Each device is connected to exactly two other devices, forming a circular pathway for signals.
(C) Star topology: All devices are connected to a central hub. This matches the description perfectly.
(D) Tree topology: A hybrid topology that combines bus and star topologies. It has a root node, and all other nodes are linked to form a hierarchy.
The topology where all devices connect to a central hub is the star topology.
