A daisy chain network configuration is a topology in which multiple controllers are connected in which arrangement?

• A. In parallel to a central hub
• B. In a ring with token passing
• C. In series
• D. In a wireless star

Answer: (C)

Daisy chaining means you connect devices end-to-end in a single line, so data flows from one controller to the next along a linear path. This linear, series-style arrangement is why the correct choice is in series. It’s different from a star where every device plugs into a central hub, a ring where a token moves around a closed loop, or a wireless star where devices connect to a central access point. The chain setup is simple and direct, with a single path for communication along the line, though a fault can affect downstream controllers since there’s no alternate route.
