Why each option
To monitor the usage of Network Address Translation (NAT), the `show ip nat statistics` command displays various metrics, including the hits counter for translated traffic.
The `show ip nat statistics` command is used to display various NAT statistics, including the number of successful NAT translations ('hits'), which indicates how many packets have been translated by NAT, providing an overview of NAT performance and activity.
The `debug ip nat` command enables real-time debugging for NAT, showing detailed translation events as they happen, but it does not display a consolidated hit counter.
`show ip debug nat` is not a standard Cisco IOS command for displaying NAT statistics; `debug ip nat` is for debugging NAT events.
The `clear ip nat statistics` command resets the NAT statistics counters, including the hit counter, rather than displaying their current values.
