Which of the following network topologies involves sending all traffic through a single point?
The correct answer is C. Hub-and-spoke. The hub-and-spoke network topology centralizes all network traffic through a single, core device (the hub) before it reaches its destination.

Why each option
The hub-and-spoke network topology centralizes all network traffic through a single, core device (the hub) before it reaches its destination.
A mesh topology provides redundant connections between all devices, meaning traffic can take multiple paths and does not solely rely on a single point.
A hybrid topology combines elements of different topologies, and while it might include a hub-and-spoke component, it does not inherently mean all traffic flows through a single point for the entire network.
In a hub-and-spoke topology, all communication between 'spoke' devices must pass through the central 'hub' device. This design funnels all traffic through a single point, simplifying management but creating a single point of failure.
A point-to-point topology connects only two devices directly, so traffic flows only between those two specific points, not through a single central point for a larger network.
