c) Use of arbitrary topology may or may not make modification of system more difficult
d) None of the mentioned
Answer: b
Clarification: Use of arbitrary topology makes modification of system more difficult.
2. Use of arbitrary topology makes modification of system more difficult because of which of the following?
a) Interaction among components are constrained
b) Interaction among components are not constrained
