Which action could be used to determine if a host is compromised and flooding traffic onto the network?

• Unseat and then reconnect the hard drive connectors on the host.
• Disconnect the host from the network.
• Examine the Device Manager on the host for device conflicts.
• Check the host hard drive for errors and file system issues.
