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.
Many home networks use the star topology. A star network features a central connection point called a hub node that may be a network hub, switch or router. Devices typically connect to the hub with Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) Ethernet.
