Why each option

Network Mapper tools actively scan a network and generate visual diagrams showing connected devices, IP addresses, and topology relationships.

ANetwork MapperCorrect

Network Mapper applications discover hosts and services across a network and render their relationships as a visual diagram or map, giving administrators a clear picture of network topology. This discovery and visualization function is the defining purpose of network mapping tools, distinguishing them from diagnostic or monitoring utilities.

BNetwork analyzer

A network analyzer (packet sniffer or protocol analyzer) captures and decodes network traffic at the packet level to diagnose issues, but it does not produce visual network topology diagrams.

CTime Domain Reflectometer (TDR)

A Time Domain Reflectometer sends electrical pulses down a cable and measures signal reflections to locate cable faults or breaks - it is a cable-testing instrument, not a network diagramming tool.

DSystem Monitor

System Monitor tracks operating system performance counters such as CPU, memory, and disk utilization, and does not map or diagram network devices or topology.
