Why each option

Network topologies describe the physical or logical arrangement of devices on a network. Star and Bus are two of the classic standard topologies.

AEthernet

Ethernet is a networking technology and data link layer protocol, not a network topology.

BDuplex

Duplex refers to the direction of data transmission (half or full), not a network topology.

CStarCorrect

Star topology connects all devices to a central hub or switch, making it one of the most common and recognized network topologies in modern networking.

DCircular

Circular is not a recognized standard network topology; the correct term for a circular arrangement is Ring topology.

EBusCorrect

Bus topology connects all devices along a single backbone cable, and is a foundational network topology covered in networking fundamentals.
