In which network topology does data traditionally travel in one direction around a closed loop?

Options

  • A. Bus Topology
  • B. Star Topology
  • C. Ring Topology
  • D. Tree Topology
  • E. None of the above

Correct Answer (Detailed Explanation is Below)

C. Ring Topology

Detailed Explanation

Correct Answer: Ring Topology

  • Traditional ring networks transmit data from one node to the next in a circular path.
  • Token Ring is a classic example of ring-based networking.
  • A token may be used to control which device can transmit data.
  • Modern ring implementations may support bidirectional transmission or protection mechanisms.
