D Correct answer
Explanation

Mesh topology provides multiple redundant paths between nodes, so if any link or node fails, traffic can route through alternative paths, making it ideal for uninterrupted communications. Ring topology has single points of failure between nodes. Star topology depends on the central switch. Hierarchical topology has single points of failure at each level.
