Either a Bus topology or Wireless repeating, depends on how the question is stated...
No, unless the ring is broken then collision can occur

Token
They are more expensive and are slower than Ethernet.
FDDI is a dual-ring structure, usually found in MANs (metropolitan area networks). Although it has a physical ring structure it is not the same as a token ring network.
Ring topology is the passive topology in computer networks
Theoretically, in a ring topology, unplugging one station, interrupts the ring. However, most ring networks use a mechanism that bypasses the station; the ring can continue its operation.
Token Ring and FDDI networks can.
