Answer:

D. Toner probe

Step-by-step explanation:

The tone probe allows you to apply a tone signal to a pair of wires or a single conductor, while the trace is done with an amplified probe. When used in conjunction with the amplified probe, the tone generator allows technicians to identify a wire within any beam, at cross connections or at remote ends. You can use twisted pair, coaxial and disconnected AC wiring.
