For each hop, tracert displays what information?

• A. The round-trip time to that hop
• B. The packet's TTL values
• C. The destination's port number
• D. The router's CPU usage

Answer: (A)

Traceroute shows the round-trip time to each hop along a path. It sends probes with increasing TTL, and when a router discards a packet due to TTL expiry it replies back, allowing the tool to measure how long it takes for that hop to be reached and for the response to return. Those RTT values (often shown as multiple probes per hop) are the key information displayed. It does not reveal the destination port or the router’s CPU usage, and while TTL is used to reach each hop, the output focuses on the latency to each hop rather than exposing TTL values.
