Correct Answer:

Option B: False

Explanation:

One of the most basic tools is ping (Packet lnternet Groper). A frequent use of it is when an execution of a command on a remote station fails. As one of the first diagnostics, we want to ensure that the connection exists, for which the ping utility is executed to the remote host. If it fails, then there is a problem with the link. If it passes, then the trouble is with either the application or something else.
