Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
To determine the number of mesh connections required, we use the formula for a full mesh topology: n(n-1)/2, where n is the number of nodes.
Here, the nodes to be interconnected are A1, B1, C1, and D1, so n = 4.
Substitute into the formula: 4(4-1)/2 = 4×3/2 = 6.
Thus, 6 mesh connections are required.
