Explanation

PING (Packet Internet Groper) sends ICMP Echo Request packets to a target IP address or hostname and waits for ICMP Echo Reply packets. It is the standard, first-line tool to verify basic TCP/IP reachability between two hosts. A successful ping confirms the network path is functional and the target is responding. MSCONFIG (A) manages startup programs and services - it has no network diagnostic function. IPCONFIG (B) displays and manages the local machine's IP configuration, but does not test connectivity to a remote host. NET USE (C) maps network drives and manages network connections but is not used to test basic TCP/IP reachability.
