    Question

    Which of one the below options are the two different

    types of bus topology ?
    A Linear bus topology and distributed bus topology Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Linear bus topology and circular bus topology Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Distributed bus topology and circular bus topology Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Linear bus topology and semi - circular bus topology Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The two different types of bus topology are: ●      Linear bus topology → uses a single central backbone cable (the bus) with terminators at both ends.
    ●      Distributed bus topology → also uses a central bus, but connections may branch out without strict linearity. So, the correct answer is option (a). Bus topology has two main variations: ●      Linear bus topology, where all nodes are connected along a single backbone cable with terminators at both ends.
    ●      Distributed bus topology, where the central cable is not strictly linear but still functions as a shared medium for communication. ●      Circular bus topology → not a standard type; circular connections fall under ring topology . ●      Semi-circular bus topology → not a recognized networking topology. Hence, the valid types are Linear bus topology and Distributed bus topology .
