Why each option
The `ping -n` command option in Windows suppresses name resolution, preventing the ping utility from attempting to resolve IP addresses to hostnames.
The `-t` option in ping continuously pings the specified host until manually stopped.
The `-s` option in ping is typically used to specify the size of the data buffer to send, which is not represented by the `*` in the context given.
The `-a` option in ping attempts to resolve addresses to hostnames, which is the opposite of what `n` does and not indicated by the output.
The `ping -n` command-line option on Windows systems instructs the `ping` utility to suppress name resolution, meaning it will not attempt to resolve IP addresses to hostnames. This is often used to speed up ping tests or when name resolution is not desired.
