The correct option to use with the ping command to convert numerical addresses to host names on a Windows server is the "-a" option.

Here's an explanation of each option and what it does:

  • Option "-r" is used to specify the number of hops that a packet can go through before being discarded. This is also known as the "Time to Live" (TTL) value.

  • Option "-a" is used to resolve IP addresses to host names. When this option is used, the ping command will perform a reverse DNS lookup to retrieve the host name associated with the given IP address.

  • Option "-v" is used to enable verbose output. When this option is used, the ping command will display detailed information about the packets being sent and received.

  • Option "-n" is used to specify the number of packets that should be sent. By default, the ping command will send four packets.

So, in summary, the correct option to use with the ping command to convert numerical addresses to host names on a Windows server is "-a".
