A client's computer is not connecting to a website. Which of the following commands will allow the technician to view the route/number of hops between the host and remote systems?

nbtstat displays NetBIOS over TCP/IP statistics and cached name tables, and is used to troubleshoot NetBIOS name resolution - it provides no routing or hop information.

tracert (Trace Route) works by sending ICMP echo request packets with incrementally increasing TTL values, causing each router along the path to return an ICMP Time Exceeded message, which allows the tool to map every hop between the local host and the remote destination - making it the correct tool for diagnosing routing problems and counting hops.

nslookup queries DNS servers to resolve hostnames to IP addresses and diagnose DNS issues, but does not trace the network path or reveal router hops.

netstat displays active TCP/IP connections, open ports, and protocol statistics on the local machine, but does not trace the route packets take to a remote destination.
