Which of the following LAN topologies offers the highest availability?

The correct answer is C. Full mesh topology. A full mesh topology provides the highest availability because every node is directly connected to every other node, creating maximum redundancy. If any single link or node fails, traffic can be rerouted through one of many alternate paths with no single point of failure. Bus…

Explanation

A full mesh topology provides the highest availability because every node is directly connected to every other node, creating maximum redundancy. If any single link or node fails, traffic can be rerouted through one of many alternate paths with no single point of failure. Bus topology has a single shared cable - a break anywhere disrupts the entire network. Tree topology has hierarchical single points of failure. Partial mesh topology provides some redundancy but not as much as full mesh, since not all nodes are interconnected.
