Explanation

All three options are well-established network topologies. A star topology connects all devices to a central hub or switch - the most common LAN design today. A bus topology connects all devices along a single shared cable - common in older Ethernet networks. A mesh topology connects each device to multiple others, providing redundancy - common in WANs and wireless networks. Since star, mesh, and bus are all valid common topologies, 'All of the above' (Option D) is correct.
