Which of the following programs can be used to determine the routing path to a given destination?

Suggested Answer: E Vote an answer

The traceroute program can be used to determine the routing path to a given destination by sending packets with incrementing TTL values and recording the source of the ICMP time exceeded messages. This way, it can show the intermediate hops and the round-trip times for each packet. The other programs have different purposes: dig is used to query DNS servers, netstat is used to display network connections and statistics, ping is used to test the reachability of a host by sending ICMP echo requests and measuring the response time, and route is used to manipulate the routing table.
