1. What happens if the main backbone cable in a Bus Topology fails?

2. In a Bus Topology, what is the primary function of "terminators" installed at the ends of the backbone cable?

A) To absorb the signal and prevent it from bouncing back, avoiding data collisions.
B) To boost the electrical signal so it can travel further down the line.
C) To act as a central switch that directs traffic to the correct computer.

3. What is one of the main advantages of a Bus Topology?

A) It performs exceptionally well under heavy network traffic.
B) It is very inexpensive to set up and requires less cable than other topologies.
C) It is the easiest topology to troubleshoot when problems occur.
