Which of the following network topologies describes a network where each node is connected to multiple devices?
The correct answer is A. Mesh. Mesh topology is defined by each node having direct connections to multiple other nodes, providing redundancy and multiple paths.

Why each option
Mesh topology is defined by each node having direct connections to multiple other nodes, providing redundancy and multiple paths.
In a mesh topology, every node is connected to one or more other nodes directly, creating multiple redundant paths for data. A full mesh has every node connected to every other node, while a partial mesh has some nodes with multiple connections. This design eliminates single points of failure.
Bus topology uses a single shared backbone cable where all devices connect to one central line.
Star topology connects all nodes to a single central device (switch or hub), not to multiple devices.
Ring topology connects each node to exactly two neighbors, forming a closed loop - not multiple connections.
