While the majority of respondents indicate Ethernet (which I will agree is generally the layer two protocol of choice), if we're talking physical topology, choices would include ring, bus, star, etc. As far as basing one's answer on customer preferences, that's certainly a viable real-world scenario answer (pointing out that the best technical answer is not always the most feasible or most overall preferrable answer). I guess looking at "preference" requires a knowledge of the criteria used to judge this "preference". A strictly technical preference is going to likely yield a much different answer than taking into consideration cost and other non-technical factors.
