To list a remote machine's name table given its IP address, you would use NBTStat switch?

-A
-a
-s
-n

The correct answer is: -A

The correct choice to list a remote machine's name table using its IP address is indeed the switch that enables querying by the remote machine’s IP address. The -A switch in the NBTStat command specifically allows you to retrieve the name table of a remote machine by supplying its IP address. This is useful in environments where you need to gather NetBIOS name information about a computer on the network without being physically present at that machine. The other options refer to functionalities that do not fit this specific requirement. For example, the -a switch shows the name table of a remote machine using its NetBIOS name, rather than the IP address. Meanwhile, the -s switch displays the current NetBIOS sessions, and the -n switch reveals the local NetBIOS names of the device. Each has its specific use case, but for directly querying an IP address for its name table, the -A switch is the most appropriate choice.
