The question is:
"What statements are true regarding ICMP packets?" Choose two.
I chose:
They are encapsulated in UDP datagrams. & They can provide hosts with info about network problems.
The correct answers say:
They are encapsulated in IP datagrams. & They can provide hosts with info about network problems.
So obviously i got 1 right but the other is confusing because IP packets are not datagrams, and i would have chosen that option however it said datagrams. Also I believe ICMP packets are encapsulated in UDP datagrams anyways. So to me there are 3 possible answers here if the word datagrams was switched with packets in the IP option. Can anyone care to share their thoughts?

The two terms, datagram and packet, are used synonymously.
