The action to take is A. Issue the reload command without saving the running configuration.

Explanation:

The reload command is necessary when there is a network issue, to reload the switch or router could fix the issue without spending much time.

In our scenario, the technician made multiple changes to the router configuration and the problem was still not resolved. The best way to go about it is to issue the reload command without saving the configuration that is currently running.
