A Correct answer
Explanation

A star topology is a topology for a Local Area Network (LAN) in which all nodes are individually connected to a central connection point, like a hub or a switch. A star takes more cable than, e.g. a bus, but the benefit is that if a cable fails, only one node will be brought down.
