Solution

The correct option is A Multipoint

In a Multipoint connection more than two devices can share a single link.

A multipoint connection is a communication channel between two or more clients of the network, where all data sent by one client is received by all other clients. A point-to-point connection is a special case of a multipoint connection involving only two clients.

The advantages of a multipoint connection over a point-to-point connection are ease of installation, low cost, reliability. A point to point connection is used for connecting 2 devices, whereas in a multipoint connection more than 2 devices share the communication link.

The Point-to-Multipoint topology (also called star topology or simply P2MP) is a common network architecture for outdoor wireless networks to connect multiple locations to one single central location.

The main difference between point-to-point and multipoint connection is that in a point-to-point connection the link is only between two devices i.e. a sender and a receiver. On the other hand, in a multipoint connection ,the link is between a sender and multiple receivers.
