Answer:

A mesh network design

Step-by-step explanation:

In designing local area networks, we can follow one of several network topologies, some of these are; bus, star, ring, star-ring hybrid, mesh, etc. In a mesh topology, all the PCs are inter-connected to each other such that the computers do not send signals, they also act as signal relay to others within the network, considering that in this question scenario the goal is to acheive maximum uptime at all locations, a mesh design will be the best.
