Why did the ping fail?

An administrator has a test server (my host) that uses local name resolution. The administrator arrives late one morning and finds that their co-worker was asked to make some changes to the IP address of the server.

The co-worker used SMIT from the console, but then when testing from the console, the following command fails:

ping my_host

Why did the ping fail?
A . They didn’t update /etc/hosts after mktcpip was run.
B. They used an incorrect gateway address.
C. They didn’t update the DNS entry.
D. They didn’t reboot the server.
