The correct option is A Ring
Ring network topology in which there are
bidirectional links between each possible node.
A ring network is a network topology in which each
node connects to exactly two other nodes, forming a single continuous pathway
for signals through each node - a ring. Data travels from node to node, with
each node along the way handling every packet.
Disadvantages of ring topology. All data being
transferred over the network must pass through each workstation on the network,
which can make it slower than a star topology. The entire network will be
impacted if one workstation shuts down.
In wide area networks (WAN) and meteropolitan area
networks (MAN), a ring topology is used to as the topology for the backbone
(sometimes called a city ring) to connect the customers. In that case the ring
is used in both directions to have two distinctive paths to the public switch.
