Which of the following utilities produces the output shown in the image below?
The correct answer is B. PING. The PING utility produces output showing round-trip reply statistics including bytes, TTL, and response time for each packet sent to a target host.

Why each option
The PING utility produces output showing round-trip reply statistics including bytes, TTL, and response time for each packet sent to a target host.
IPCONFIG displays the local machine's network adapter configuration such as IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway - it does not send packets or produce reply-based output.
PING sends ICMP Echo Request packets to a destination and displays replies with fields such as bytes received, time in milliseconds, and TTL value for each response. The standard output format includes a per-packet line like 'Reply from x.x.x.x: bytes=32 time=Xms TTL=XX' followed by a summary of sent, received, and lost packets. This matches the typical image shown for basic ICMP connectivity testing.
PATHPING combines PING and TRACERT functionality by showing per-hop latency and packet loss statistics over a measurement period, producing a more detailed multi-section report rather than simple per-packet replies.
TRACERT traces the route to a destination and displays each intermediate hop's IP address and round-trip time across multiple hops, not simple per-packet ICMP replies to a single host.
