In what LAN topology do all the transmissions of the network travel the full length of cable and are received by
all other stations?

A.
Bus topology

B.
Ring topology

C.
Star topology

D.
FDDI topology

Explanation:
In a bus topology a linear, single cable for all computers attached is used. All traffic travels the full cable and
can be viewed by all other computers.
Incorrect Answers:
B: In a ring topology all computers are connected by a unidirectional transmission link, and the cable is in a
closed loop.
C: In a star topology all computers are connected to a central device, which provides more resilience for the
network.
D: FDDI is a media access methodology, not a LAN topology.
