Answer: C
The star configuration would be the easiest network for
problem resolution. In a star configuration all lines are
connected to the central hub. A problem can occur if the
central hub fails. A bus configuration can be difficult to
troubleshoot since a cable break can be difficult to find.
Ring configurations are also difficult to trouble shoot.
Problems in a mesh configuration are also easy to diagnose,
but not as easy as in a star configuration.
