Answer»

Right answer is (d) DECREMENTED by 1

To elaborate: This field will be decremented by 1 at EVERY router, and will be zero by the time it reaches source. This error reporting message is TYPE 11 and is USED to prevent the router from travelling forever in CASE some unknown path anomaly occurs.
