Why each option

TRACERT (Trace Route) displays hop-by-hop path information including TTL, round-trip latency per hop, and intermediate router IP addresses or hostnames.

ATRACERTCorrect

TRACERT sends packets with incrementing TTL values and reports each intermediate router (hop) along the path to the destination, displaying columns for hop number, three round-trip time samples, and the router hostname or IP. This tabular hop-by-hop format is unique to TRACERT among the listed utilities.

BNBTSTAT

NBTSTAT displays NetBIOS over TCP/IP statistics and name tables, not routing path information.

CNETSTAT

NETSTAT shows active TCP/UDP connections, listening ports, and socket statistics, not hop-by-hop routing.

DPING

PING sends ICMP echo requests to a single destination and reports round-trip time only, without showing intermediate hops.
