Explanation

Ring topology is correct because it connects devices in a closed loop where data travels in one direction (unidirectional), passing through each node sequentially until it reaches its destination.

Tree topology is hierarchical - data flows through branches from a root node, not in a loop. Star topology routes all traffic through a central hub or switch, so data doesn't pass through other devices on its way to the destination. Mesh topology provides multiple redundant paths between devices, allowing data to take various routes rather than a single directional loop.

Memory tip: Think of a ring on your finger - it's a closed circle with no beginning or end, just like ring topology where data keeps moving in one direction around the circle until it finds its target.
