Explanation
Topology (B) refers to the physical or logical arrangement of devices and connections in a network - it describes the shape or layout, such as star, ring, bus, or mesh configurations.
- Interface (A) is a point of connection between systems or components (e.g., a network card), not the overall arrangement.
- Protocol (C) defines the rules for communication between devices, not how they're arranged.
- Zone (D) refers to a segmented area of a network (commonly in firewalls), not the network's shape.
Memory tip: Think of topology like a map - just as geography describes the shape of land, network topology describes the shape of your network.
