A
False
B
True
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -This can be a sign that there is an intermittent problem at that hop. Three Asterisks, Then Failure: If you see all three attempts at a hop have asterisks and then the traceroute errors out, it means that the hop is completely down.

Detailed explanation-2: -What do asterisks in the output mean? In the traceroute output you may see asterisk instead of response times. The asterisks indicate that the target server did not respond as traceroute expected before a timeout occurred-this does not always indicate packet loss.
