Why each option
Ring topology connects each computer to exactly two others, forming a closed loop or circle through which data travels sequentially.
Bus topology connects all devices along a single shared backbone cable with terminators at each end, not a closed circle.
Mesh topology connects each device to multiple or all other devices for redundancy, not in a simple closed loop.
In a Ring topology, each node is connected to exactly two adjacent nodes, forming a continuous circular path; data travels around the ring in one direction until it reaches its destination.
Star topology connects all devices to a central hub or switch in a hub-and-spoke arrangement, not a closed circle.
