Selected Answer: B

B. Crimp the cable as a straight-through cable. The issue in this scenario is likely due to the mismatched wiring standards (TIA/EIA 568A on one end and TIA/EIA 568B on the other end) for the Ethernet cable. To fix the problem, the technician should crimp the cable as a straight-through cable, ensuring that both ends follow the same wiring standard (either 568A or 568B). This will establish the proper connections for Ethernet communication between the wall jack and the computer, allowing network connectivity to be restored.

B. Crimp the cable as a straight-through cable. To resolve the problem, you should ensure that both ends of the cable are crimped with the same standard (either TIA/EIA 568A or TIA/EIA 568B), making it a straight-through cable.
