Network Utility is the correct choice for pinging a network address in OS X. This built-in application provides users with various networking tools, including the ability to ping specific IP addresses or domain names. Pinging is essential for diagnosing network connectivity and checking the response time from a server or another device on the network. The other options do not serve the same function as Network Utility. The Network Diagnostics Assistant is primarily designed to help troubleshoot network issues but does not specifically provide a tool for pinging. Dynamic Service Discovery, while aiding in identifying devices on a network, does not include functionalities for performing a ping. Server Message Block (SMB) is a protocol used for sharing files and printers but is unrelated to pinging or networking diagnostics.
