Answer:

A. Loopback tool

Step-by-step explanation:

Loopback tool or adapter is a small device used to test networks ports and help identify simple network connection issues, this is a great tool when mapping out a physical layout of a network and quickly identify active ports on a switch.

This tool works by taking the transmitted signal and redirecting it or looping it back into the receiving end of the same connection.
