What is the command to show active network connections?

  1. ipconfig

  2. netstat

  3. tracert

  4. nslookup

The correct answer is: netstat

Netstat is the correct command to use in order to show active network connections. Ipconfig only displays information about a specific network adapter, not active connections. Tracert displays the hops that a network packet takes to reach its destination, not active connections. Nslookup is used to query DNS servers, not display active connections. This makes B the correct and most relevant answer.
