Which of the following is the PRIMARY security related reason to use a tree network topology rather than a bus network topology?

A tree network topology provides better resilience and stability compared to a bus topology:

Fault Isolation: In a tree topology, a failure in one branch does not necessarily bring down the entire

network.

Hierarchy Structure: If a single link fails, only a segment of the network is affected, not the whole

system.

Easier Troubleshooting: The hierarchical layout allows for easier identification and isolation of faulty

nodes.

Compared to Bus Topology: In a bus topology, a single cable failure can disrupt the entire network.

Incorrect Options:

A . Easier network expansion: True, but not primarily a security advantage.

B . Better performance: Depends on network design, not a security aspect.

D . Less susceptible to eavesdropping: Tree topology itself does not inherently reduce eavesdropping

risks.

Exact Extract from CCOA Official Review Manual, 1st Edition:

Refer to Chapter 5, Section "Network Topologies," Subsection "Tree Topology Benefits" - The primary

security advantage is increased fault tolerance and stability.
