Wouldn't a toner probe (C) be the pick here since the question is about identifying unlabeled wires? Cable tester (A) just checks for faults, not which cable goes where. Saw a similar scenario in practice material.
Hard to say, C here. Toner probe lets you trace and identify which cable runs to the wall jack since nothing is labeled. Cable tester checks for faults but doesn’t help figure out which is which. Makes sense unless I’m missing something.
Why not A? Toner probe (C) actually finds the cable, tester just checks connectivity.
Probably C since toner probe helps trace which cable matches the wall port, seen that a lot in labs and sample tests. If the question asked for testing cable quality instead of identification, would swap to A. Official guide covers these tools pretty well.
