Selected Answer: B

B. Replacing the patch cable is the most likely solution to fix the issue of slow download speeds when accessing files on the network server. A faulty or damaged patch cable can cause packet loss and reduce the overall speed of the network connection, even if the NIC is capable of Gigabit Ethernet. Releasing and renewing the PC's IP address, reseating the NIC inside the PC, and flushing the DNS cache are unlikely to resolve the issue of slow download speeds on the network.

If the NIC card is too loose to begin with, it won't be able to connect at all, so I think the next feasible option would be "B"
