Intermittent ping responses, as shown in the output, are a strong indicator of a duplicate IP address on the network. When two devices have the same IP address, one might respond to pings while the other might cause conflicts, leading to timeouts.
A. Duplicate IP address, there is nothing wrong with the default gateway.
A is correct. With the wrong gateway or even no gateway you could ping 192.168.1.1 assuming something was there it would respond. With a duplicate 1.5 ip on the network you'd only get out half the time because you're competing with it.
