The tracert command can display a list of routers being used for all active connections.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. It shows the closest router only
• D. It shows DNS resolvers

Answer: (B)

Traceroute (tracert on Windows) maps the path to a single destination by listing each router (hop) that forwards packets along that route. It does not show routers used by all active connections on your machine, since each connection could go to a different target and traceroute only traces one specified target at a time. It also doesn’t display DNS resolvers; DNS servers are separate services and aren’t part of the hop list. If a hop doesn’t respond, you may see a timeout for that hop, but the overall path to the destination is still shown for the hops that do respond. So the statement is false.
