The correct answer is D. Ping.

Ping is a utility used to test the connectivity between two devices on a network. It sends an ICMP echo request to a destination device and waits for an ICMP echo reply. If the destination device responds to the request, it means that the two devices are able to communicate with each other.

In the context of the exam question, if you want to determine whether a switch can send echo requests and replies, you would use the ping utility. You would send an ICMP echo request to another device on the network and wait for a response. If you receive a response, it means that the switch is able to send and receive echo requests and replies.

SSH and Telnet are protocols used for remote access to network devices, but they do not provide a way to test connectivity or send echo requests. Traceroute is a utility used to trace the path of packets through a network, but it does not test connectivity or send echo requests.
