1.

What is the difference between logical topology and physical topology?

a)

Logical topology is how devices are actually interconnected, while physical topology is how they appear connected to the user.

b)

Logical topology is how devices are connected to a server, while physical topology is how they are connected to a switch.

c)

Logical topology is how devices are connected to the internet, while physical topology is how they are connected to each other.

d)

Logical topology is how devices appear connected to the user, while physical topology is how they are actually interconnected with wires and cables.
