Explanation

Pinging the localhost verifies the TCP/IP stack is functional. Pinging the default gateway confirms local network connectivity. Running tracert to the default gateway shows the round-trip time for each hop, which directly reveals connection latency (B). The subnet mask (E) is implicitly validated by these tests: for a device to successfully ping its default gateway, its IP address and subnet mask must be configured correctly so it recognizes the gateway as reachable on the local subnet. These tests do not reveal DNS suffix, firewall status, wireless signal strength, or MAC address information.
