Explanation

This question follows CompTIA's structured troubleshooting methodology: (1) Identify the problem, (2) Establish a theory, (3) Test the theory, (4) Establish a plan of action, (5) Implement the solution, (6) Verify, (7) Document. The technician has already gathered information (open-ended questions) and established a theory (issue is on the remote server). The next logical step is to test that theory - for example, by pinging the server or checking its availability - before creating a plan of action or documenting findings.
