In a bus topology, what happens if the main cable (bus) breaks?

AData reroutes through other devices

BOnly devices after the break lose connection

CThe entire network communication stops

DThe network switches to a ring topology

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Understand bus topology structure
Bus topology uses a single main cable for all devices; if it breaks, communication is interrupted.
Step 2: Determine the effect of cable break
Since all devices share the bus, a break stops communication for the entire network.
Final Answer:
The entire network communication stops -> Option C
Quick Check:
Bus break stops all communication [OK]

Quick Trick: Bus uses one cable; break stops all devices [OK]
