Correct Answer
B. You should check if the host Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) protocol is down.

Explanation
If network users are able to ping the hostname and Telnet to the host name but unable to access the website, it suggests that the network connectivity is fine and the issue lies with the HTTP protocol. This means that the web server or the HTTP service on the host computer may be down or not functioning properly. Therefore, checking if the host Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) protocol is down would be the appropriate step to identify and resolve the issue.
