A Correct answer
Explanation

FC arbitrated loop (FC-AL) is the topology that uses hubs to connect devices in a loop, with arbitrated access to the loop. Switched fabric uses switches, not hubs. Mesh topologies (full or partial) require point-to-point connections between devices, not hub-based architecture. The hub is the defining characteristic of arbitrated loop topology.
