CompTIA Network+ (N10-006) — Question 94

A network engineer needs to set up a topology that will not fail if there is an outage on a single piece of the topology. However, the computers need to wait to talk on the network to avoid congestions.
Which of the following topologies would the engineer implement?

Answer options

• A. Star
• B. Bus
• C. Ring
• D. Mesh

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Ring, because it allows for the network to continue functioning even if one node fails, as each device is connected in a circular manner. The other options, such as Star and Bus, do not provide the same level of fault tolerance, and while Mesh offers redundancy, it does not inherently provide the waiting mechanism to avoid congestion.
