What structural issue creates a single point of failure hazard in a standard network Star Topology configuration?
A. MAC addresses can conflict across ports automatically.
B. If the central hub or switch fails, all connected devices lose network connectivity.
C. The endpoint terminators can burn out.
D. A break in any single client cable drops the entire network.
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
