Selected Answer: C

C. The port is shut down. Explanation: If the Ethernet connection is physically plugged in but there are no indicator lights blinking on either the computer or the switch, it suggests that the connection is not active on the switch port. A common reason for this is that the switch port has been administratively shut down. A shut down port won't transmit or receive data, which would explain the lack of activity on the indicator lights.
