Which of the following network topologies would be the BEST choice in providing network redundancy for an organization?

The correct answer is C. Mesh. A mesh topology provides the highest level of redundancy because every node connects to multiple (or all) other nodes, creating many alternate paths for data. If one link or node fails, traffic automatically reroutes through another path, maintaining connectivity. A star…

Explanation

A mesh topology provides the highest level of redundancy because every node connects to multiple (or all) other nodes, creating many alternate paths for data. If one link or node fails, traffic automatically reroutes through another path, maintaining connectivity. A star topology has a single central device (hub or switch) that is a single point of failure; if it fails, all connected devices lose connectivity. A point-to-point topology connects only two devices with no alternate path. A hybrid topology combines multiple topologies and can include redundant elements, but pure mesh offers the most inherent redundancy. Full mesh is expensive but maximally fault-tolerant.
