When telephones in a city are connected by a single exchange, the caller can only connect with the switchboard operator. The operator then manually connects the call. This is an example of which type of network topology?

The described scenario, where all telephone connections are routed through a single switchboard operator, fits the definition of a Star network topology. In a Star topology, all devices are connected to a central node (in this case, the switchboard operator), which manages and relays communications between them. This ensures central control over network traffic, mirroring the switchboard operator's role in manually connecting calls.
C is the correct answer
C is correct
Agree with C
C. I think this should be "Star"
defiantly Star!!!!!!
A star network is an implementation of a spoke–hub distribution paradigm in computer networks. In a star network, every host is connected to a central hub. In its simplest form, one central hub acts as a conduit to transmit messages. The star network is one of the most common computer network topologies.
Answer C. May for the force be with you!
Definition of a Hub and Spoke or Star network. Answer is C.
A host on a bus network is called a station. In a bus network, every station will receive all network traffic, and the traffic generated by each station has equal transmission priority.[3] A bus network forms a single network segment and collision domain. In order for nodes to share the bus, they use a medium access control technology such as carrier-sense multiple access (CSMA) or a bus master. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bus_network The answer is Bus as with a star topology, the branches cannot communicate with each other. https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/computer-science/star-topology
This is an example of a "Star" topology. In a Star topology, all devices (in this case, telephones) are connected to a central hub or switch (the switchboard operator in this scenario). The central hub or switch controls the flow of data (in this case, phone calls) between the devices. In the context of early telephone systems, the switchboard operator played the role of the central hub in a Star topology by manually connecting calls between callers.
Star topology.
This is similar to a hub and spoke topology.
Shining star it is!
