Which of the following tools would an administrator use when determining the hop count between a source and a destination?

Why each option
The 'tracert' command is used to trace the route that packets take to a network host, displaying the number of hops and the time taken for each hop.
The 'arp' (Address Resolution Protocol) command displays and modifies the IP-to-physical address translation tables, not network hop count.
The 'nbstat' (NetBIOS over TCP/IP statistics) command displays NetBIOS protocol statistics, name tables, and the NetBIOS name cache, not network hop count.
The 'ipconfig' command displays all current TCP/IP network configuration values and can refresh DHCP and DNS settings, not network hop count.
The 'tracert' (traceroute) utility is a diagnostic tool for displaying the route and measuring transit delays of packets across an Internet Protocol (IP) network. It specifically shows the hop count, which is the number of routers (hops) a packet passes through to reach its destination.
