Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tracert (traceroute) sends data packets to every computer on the path between one computer and another and clocks the packet's round-trip times. This can help diagnose network connectivity issues by identifying the specific router or computer that is causing a delay or failure in communication.

The other options listed also involve sending data packets, but each serves a different purpose. Telnet allows a user to connect to and communicate with a remote computer using a command line interface. Ping sends a small packet of data to a specific IP address to test for a response (useful for checking if a remote host is reachable). Finger displays information about a user on a specific remote computer (such as their name, email address, or the last time they logged in).
