Which of the following topologies would cause the network to be segmented if any one machine went offline?
The correct answer is A. Bus. In a bus topology, all devices share a single linear communication cable. If any device on the bus fails or its connection is broken, it can interrupt the signal path and segment or bring down the entire network. Star topology (C) isolates failures to individual nodes.

Explanation
In a bus topology, all devices share a single linear communication cable. If any device on the bus fails or its connection is broken, it can interrupt the signal path and segment or bring down the entire network. Star topology (C) isolates failures to individual nodes. Mesh topology (B) provides redundant paths. Hybrid (D) depends on its combination. Bus topology's single shared medium is its major weakness - one failure affects all.
