C. Are the lights on the adapter functioning correctly

Explanation:

When a Network Interface Card is installed and your computer is not showing anything, the first thing you need to check the light on the adapter in order to ensure connectivity. The Network Interface Card will not work even if the network adapter is turned on but not getting any power.
