CompTIA Network+ (N10-008) — Question 778

Which of the following topologies requires the MOST connections when designing a network?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: A

Explanation

A Mesh topology requires the most connections as each device is directly connected to every other device in the network, resulting in a high number of interconnections. In contrast, Star, Bus, and Ring topologies have significantly fewer connections since they rely on a central hub, a single communication line, or a circular structure, respectively.
