Question

question 2 of 8 which topology gives every computer direct access to an internet connection bus topology star topology mesh topology

Explanation:

To determine the correct network topology:

1. Recall the characteristics of each topology:

• Bus topology: All devices share a single communication line (bus). If the bus fails, all devices lose connectivity. Devices don't have direct independent internet access in the way the question implies.
• Star topology: All devices are connected to a central hub (like a switch or router). The hub manages connections, and each device can communicate with the hub to access the internet. So each computer can have direct access to the internet connection via the hub.
• Mesh topology: Each device is connected to every other device. This is highly redundant but not typical for providing direct internet access to each computer in a simple way as the question asks.

1. Based on the description "every computer direct access to an internet connection", Star topology is the best fit because the central hub (router) can provide each connected computer with direct access to the internet.

Answer:

B. Star topology
