What are two behaviors of a point-to-point WAN topology? (Choose two.)
The correct answer is A. It leverages a dedicated connection. E. It connects remote networks through a single line.. A point-to-point WAN topology establishes a dedicated communication link between two specific endpoints, connecting remote networks via this single, direct line.
Question
Options

Why each option
A point-to-point WAN topology establishes a dedicated communication link between two specific endpoints, connecting remote networks via this single, direct line.
A point-to-point WAN topology, by definition, establishes a dedicated, one-to-one connection between two specific network devices or locations.
"Direct connections between each router in the topology" describes a full-mesh topology, not a point-to-point topology, which connects only two endpoints directly.
While point-to-point connections can *be part* of a redundant design, a *single* point-to-point link itself does not inherently 'deliver redundancy'; it's a single path.
A point-to-point link connects two *sites* or *routers*, but it does not dictate that a *single router* is used to route traffic *between* sites; each site will have its own router (or routers) at the endpoint.
In a point-to-point topology, remote networks are linked through a single, direct communication line, facilitating data exchange exclusively between those two endpoints.
