Why each option
To test the latency and connectivity between two servers, the `ping` command is the appropriate tool.
`route` displays or modifies the IP routing table, which is not used for measuring latency.
`arp` displays or modifies the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) cache, which resolves IP addresses to MAC addresses, not for testing latency.
The `ping` command sends ICMP echo request packets to a target host and measures the round-trip time for the echo reply, directly indicating network latency and confirming network reachability between the two servers.
`nslookup` or `dig` are used to query Domain Name System (DNS) servers for hostname resolution, not for measuring network latency.
