Which topology is explicitly identified as Bus topology in common networking terminology?

• A. Physical Topologies
• B. Physical Topologies (Bus)
• C. Patch Panel
• D. Patent

Answer: (B)

Understanding how topologies are labeled helps you map terminology to the actual layout. When a choice explicitly names the Bus within the physical topology family, it points directly to the Bus topology. The Bus layout uses a single shared cable that all devices tap into, with terminators at each end, and access control often governed by CSMA/CD. Among the options, the one that specifies Bus as the physical topology is a precise match to identifying the Bus topology in common terminology. The other choices are a broad category (Physical Topologies), a hardware component (Patch Panel), or unrelated (Patent). Therefore, the explicit Bus identification is the correct choice.
