Network Robustness
Consider a scale-free network. Which of the following statements correctly describes its “robust yet fragile” behavior? a) It's robust to both random failures and targeted attacks because most nodes have similar degrees. b) It's fragile under random failures but robust when the most connected hubs are intentionally removed. c) It's robust to random failures, since most nodes are low-degree, but extremely fragile to targeted attacks on hubs. d) Its robustness and fragility depend solely on the clustering coefficient, not on the degree distribution. e) N.D.A. (None of the Above)
