No link lights and the network configuration has been verified would suggest something is disable with the port. If it was only a configuration issue you should still see some link light activity.

B, if your going through the trouble of of connecting the second NIC you should probably configure it first before connecting it to the network.

C looks correct. If you disable your NIC or uninstall it (or if it is corrupted), I believe the light will go out (if you had it on prior). Restarting (A) is part of troubleshooting, B&C would not cause the light to not come on.

Nothing in the question states that the technician has configured the NIC for the "new" network it is getting setup for.

Vague question... as always! My first thoughts are that this would need to be configured... but since "everything on the network is fine"... whatever that means... I would guess that maybe there is port security and to turn that on... also an inference... this question stinks.
