Answer

(i) Topology

Explanation

Network topology describes the physical or logical arrangement of devices and communication links in a network.

Examples include:

  • Bus: devices share a common backbone.
  • Star: devices connect to a central switch/hub.
  • Ring: devices form a logical/physical ring.
  • Mesh: devices have multiple interconnections.

Therefore, the correct answer is (i) Topology.
