Question

label each pattern with the correct physical topology. bus ring mesh star hybrid

Explanation:

First Diagram (Top):

The first diagram shows nodes with multiple connections between each pair (or most pairs) of nodes, which is characteristic of a mesh topology. In a mesh topology, each node is connected to several other nodes, providing redundancy and high connectivity.

The second diagram has nodes connected in a closed loop, where each node is connected to two adjacent nodes, forming a ring. This matches the ring topology, where data travels around the ring from node to node.

The third diagram shows nodes connected to a single central "bus" or backbone line. All devices are attached to this common bus, which is the defining feature of a bus topology.

Answer:

mesh
