Which statement below accurately compares ring networks and star networks?

Because of their configuration, star networks can be bigger than ring networks.

In a star network topology, when one node goes down, the whole network goes down, whereas a ring network would not go down.

Each node in a ring network makes a fresh copy of the packet when it comes through, so ring networks can be bigger than star networks or other topologies.

Ring networks have less redundancy than star networks, so they are more efficient.

This statement accurately compares ring networks and star networks:

In a star network topology, when one node goes down, the whole network goes down, whereas a ring network would not go down. If the hub fails then the whole network is stopped because all the nodes depend on the hub.
