Explanation

The correct answer is C. traceroute (tracert on Windows). traceroute maps the path that packets take from the source to a destination, displaying each router hop along the way with latency times. This lets a technician verify that traffic is being routed through the correct upstream locations and identify where a path deviation or failure occurs. net use manages network drive mappings, nslookup resolves DNS names, and netstat shows active local connections - none of these reveal the routing path packets travel.
