Which statement best describes a switched path topology?

• A. It contains switches that can change the flow of the signal
• B. It is a fixed path with no branching
• C. It Only Allows Convergent Paths
• D. It Does Not Include Branches

Answer: (A)

Switched path topology is defined by the ability to route a signal through different routes using switches. The defining feature is that the signal flow can be changed dynamically, selecting among multiple paths as switches are actuated. That’s why describing switches that can change the flow is the best match. The other statements imply a fixed, non-branching path or no branching at all, which contradicts the idea of routing decisions that create alternate paths and potential branches.
