Question

The physical organization of devices and connecting media in a network is called .

• A. Web Server
• B. Web page
• C. WAN
• D. Topology

Hint:

Layout of nodes and links is called topology.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Understand the question.
The blank needs the term for the physical organization of devices and the media (cables) that connect them in a network.

Step 2: Recall the concept.
A network topology is the layout of nodes and the links between them. It shows how devices are arranged and how the connecting media are laid out. Examples are bus, star, ring and mesh.

Step 3: Check option 1 (Web Server).
A web server is a computer that stores websites and serves web pages when a browser asks for them. It is one device, not an arrangement of many. Option 1 is wrong.

Step 4: Check option 2 (Web page).
A web page is one document of a website. It has nothing to do with how devices are connected. Option 2 is wrong.

Step 5: Check option 3 (WAN).
WAN means Wide Area Network. It tells the size or reach of a network, which can cover cities or countries. It does not name the arrangement of devices. Option 3 is wrong.

Step 6: Check option 4 (Topology).
Topology is exactly the physical organization of devices and the media that join them. Option 4 is correct.

Final Answer:
The physical organization of devices and connecting media is called topology. This is option 4. \[ \boxed{\text{Topology}} \]
