Which of the following local area network physical layouts is subject to the greatest risk of failure if one device fails?
In a Bus network, all devices are connected along a single central communication line or bus. If any device on this main communication line fails, or if there is a failure in the communication line itself, the entire network can be disrupted. This makes the Bus network the most vulnerable to a single point of failure compared to the other network topologies listed.
Isn't this bus network?
that's what I thought as well
In the Bus network all devices are independent from each other
The local area network (LAN) physical layout subject to the greatest risk of failure if one device fails is the Bus network (option B). In a Bus network, all devices are connected along a single communication line. If any device or the communication line itself fails, it can disrupt the entire network's functionality. Other devices on the network won't be able to communicate properly if the main communication line is disrupted.
This should be B.
I agree NDOndo. The question is written poorly. Perhaps device means workstation as opposed to connection?
Answer C is correct.
