a) Ring

b) Bus

c) Mesh

d) Star​

Answer 1

Answer:

Terminators are used in Bus Topology

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer to the given question is:

b) Bus

Explanation:

The bus topology consists of a central cable - called a backbone - that is used to connect all the devices. The end of the cable is used so that the electrical signal does not bounce back.

In a bus topology, signals are sent over the main cable to all connected devices. The signal contains a destination address to identify the receiver and a source address to identify the sender. The MAC address hard-coded in the Network Interface Controller (NIC) of each device is used for this purpose. The bus configuration does not allow two computers to transmit at the same time, as this will cause collisions, i.e. the signals will interfere with each other and be lost. Therefore, devices must detect if they are transmitting at the same time as another device and so they will stop and try again later.
