Selected Answer: C
D is good, though C will "confirm" the host is up The -Pn option in nmap tells it to skip the ping check and assume the host is up, proceeding directly to port scanning. This helps confirm if the host is actually reachable via other means (like open ports), even if it doesn't respond to pings.
