B Correct answer
Explanation

A standard Token Ring network has a maximum limit of 260 computers (or stations) according to IEEE 802.5 specifications. This limit is based on timing requirements for token rotation around the ring. Options like 512 and 1024 exceed this limit, while 2024 is far beyond the specification. The 260-station maximum is a fundamental architectural constraint of Token Ring LANs.
