Solution

The drawbacks of Ring Topology are:

  1. Failure of one computer can affect the whole network: In a ring topology, each computer is connected to the next in a circular loop. If one computer fails, it can disrupt the entire network because the signal won't be able to pass through the failed node to reach the other nodes.

  2. Adding or removing computers disturbs the network activity: In a ring topology, adding or removing computers requires the network to be temporarily shut down. This is because the ring needs to be broken to add or remove a node, which disrupts the network activity.

  3. If the central hub fails, the whole network fails to operate: This statement is not applicable to ring topology as it does not have a central hub. This is a drawback of star topology, not ring topology.

So, the correct answer is "Both of A and B".
