Selected Answer: C

Looking at the second part of the image, the routing table on the host shows two routes: A default route pointing to 31.242.12.9 via interface eth0. A route for the 192.168.1.0 network via eth1. However, the server's IP (10.10.10.15) is in a different network, which does not appear in the host's routing table. As a result, the host has no route to reach the 10.10.10.0 network, meaning the traffic isn't being directed properly to the server. Thus, the host needs a route added for the 10.10.10.0 network to resolve this connectivity issue.

B. The server is plugged into a trunk port. This configuration could result in inconsistent behavior when accessing services on the server, particularly if the server is not VLAN-aware and cannot process the tagged traffic properly.

Although a gateway is listed, it is not on the 192.168.1. network
