Answer: A. In a mesh topology, all devices are connected directly to every other device on the network. If one link fails, there is always another available. It is the most fault-tolerant network topology. A hierarchical star is a variation of the standard star and is not considered a fault-tolerant implementation. A ring topology is not considered fault tolerant. In a star topology, each device is normally connected to one central device and therefore is not fault tolerant.
Thus, a tree network is a bus network of star networks. Logical (or signal) topology refers to the nature of the paths the signals follow from node to node. In many instances, the logical topology is the same as the physical topology. But this is not always the case.
