    the answer is D: Ring.

    3800 Switches can allow Ring up to 10, and Mesh upto 5. Mesh is more resilient, but it is not permitted with IRF. So, for HP 3800, Ring is the correct answer.

    Product Bulletin says:
    Meshed stacking technology:
    – High-performance stacking: provides up to 336 Gb/s of stacking throughput; each 4-port stacking module can support up to 42 Gb/s in each direction per stacking port

    – Ring, chain, and mesh topologies: support up to a 10-member ring or chain and 5-member fully meshed stacks; meshed topologies offer increased resiliency vs. a standard ring

    – Virtualized switching: provides simplified management as the switches appear as a single chassis when stacked
