Why is this happening? -Microsoft Exchange 2013 could not start Exchange Transport Server Error 1068

I have an Exchange 2013 server and all the services are starting except for the Transport service. I get Error 1068 The dependency service or group failed to start.

There was a dependency that was not started. Neither of the ones suggested were it but both had me look for that. Thanks
Jplatovsky : Pls post which dependency service was not started. Can be helpful to others who may face the same issue in future.
As DMTechGroup said, AD Topology Service is required because the Transport service needs the site costs from AD which is performed through the AD Topology Service. the AD topology service (not running) will break a lot more things, but running Test-ServiceHealth will let you know what is started and what isnt.
