what type of scan you should use?

You want to scan the live machine on the LAN, what type of scan you should use?

A.
Connect

B.
SYN

C.
TCP

D.
UDP

E.
PING

Explanation:
The ping scan is one of the quickest scans that nmap performs, since no actual ports are queried. Unlike a port scan where thousands of packets are transferred between two stations, a ping scan requires only two frames. This scan is useful for locating active devices or determining if ICMP is passing through a firewall.
