B. nmap To identify which ports are open on the remote file server, the network administrator can use the "nmap" tool. Nmap is a network scanning tool that can be used to discover open ports, services running on those ports, and other information about the target system. The other options: A. dig: This is a DNS (Domain Name System) query tool used for looking up domain information. It is not designed for identifying open ports on a server. C. tracert: This is a tool used for tracing the route that packets take to reach a destination. It does not provide information about open ports on a server. D. nslookup: This is another DNS-related tool used for querying DNS servers for domain name information. Like "dig," it is not designed for identifying open ports on a server.

B. nmap. Nmap (Network Mapper) is a powerful network scanning and reconnaissance tool used to discover hosts and services on a network. It can be used to determine what ports are open and what services are running on those ports on the remote file server. This would help in identifying any accessible services or potential issues with specific ports that might be causing the loss of access.
