Solution

The correct option is A Token bus

IEE 802.5 is Token bus.

Token Ring was developed by IBM in the 1970s and is described in the IEEE 802.5 specification. It is no longer widely used in LANs. Token passing is the method of medium access, with only one token allowed to exist on the network at any one time. Network devices must acquire the token to transmit data, and may only transmit a single frame before releasing the token to the next station on the ring. When a station has data to transmit, it acquires the token at the earliest opportunity, marks it as busy, and attaches the data and control information to the token to create a data frame, which is then transmitted to the next station on the ring.

Token bus is a network implementing the token ring protocol over a virtual ring on a coaxial cable. A token is passed around the network nodes and only the node possessing the token may transmit. If a node doesn't have anything to send, the token is passed on to the next node on the virtual ring.

"A token ring network is a local area network (LAN) in which all computers are connected in a ring or star topology and a bit- or token-passing scheme is used in order to prevent the collision of data between two computers that want to send messages at the same time.
