-Bus Topology-
A bus topology is a network configuration where all the devices are connected to a single communication line, called a bus. In this topology, devices are connected to the bus through a device that acts as a repeater, allowing the signal to be propagated in both directions.

(2aii)

-Star Topology-
A star topology is a network configuration in which each device is connected directly to a single central device known as the “hub”. In this topology, the hub acts as a connection point between all the other devices in the network and sends data packets to each device.

(2bi)
Hacking: Hacking is the unauthorized access or control of another person’s computer system in order to steal or manipulate data or resources.

(2bii)
Piracy: Piracy is the unauthorized copying or distribution of copyrighted material such as music, movies, software, etc.

(ii) Telepresence:
Telepresence refers to technologies that allow a person to feel as if they were present at a location other than their true location. It often involves sophisticated video conferencing equipment that provides high-definition video and audio, making it seem like participants are in the same room. Telepresence aims to create a more immersive and realistic interaction, enhancing remote communication.

(iii) Teleconference:
Teleconferencing is a telephone meeting among two or more participants involving technology more sophisticated than a simple two-way phone connection. It may involve audio, video, and data sharing. Teleconferencing is used for business meetings, training sessions, and seminars, enabling people to connect and collaborate without the need for physical travel.
