Solution

The correct option is C (a) and (b) both

In-service expansion and Unlimited number of stations is possible in a token passing bus network

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. Each node must know the address of its neighbour in the ring, so a special protocol is needed to notify the other nodes of connections to, and disconnections from, the ring

In a token-ring network, the token and data is passed to the next physical node along the line, but in a token bus network, it does not matter where the nodes are physically located since token-passing is done via a numeric sequence of node addresses. Token bus networks are defined by the IEEE 802.4 protocol.
