Selected Answer: A

"Given the syntax: ntptrace [-n] [-m maxhosts] [servername/IP_address]" Only A meet the requirment. Uses -n to avoid unnecessary DNS lookups, ensuring direct targeting. Sets -m 5 to balance between thoroughness and efficiency in tracing the NTP hierarchy. Targets the specified NTP server IP in the DMZ, aligning with the objective of enumerating where the server gets its time and the connected NTP servers.
