Explanation
In CompTIA networking terminology, a peer-to-peer topology describes a direct connection between exactly two nodes where each acts as both client and server to the other - by definition, it is a two-node arrangement. Star topology requires a central hub/switch with multiple connected nodes. Client-server topology involves at least one server and one or more clients but typically scales to many users. Hybrid topology is a combination of other topologies and inherently involves more than two nodes. Peer-to-peer is the only option here that is conceptually limited to two participants.
