There is 4 replies because of the following:

NodeA <--> NodeB <--> NodeC

- NodeA sends echo request destined to Node C to the relay NodeB
- This request will reached NodeB and NodeC
    - NodeB forwards it to NodeC
        - This frame will reach NodeC which will reply to it (REPLY 1)
            - This reply will reach NodeA and NodeB
                - NodeA gets the first reply
                - NodeB forwards the reply to NodeA (REPLY 2)
                    - NodeA gets the second reply
    - NodeC replies to it (REPLY 3)
        - This reply will reach NodeA and NodeB
            - NodeA gets the third reply
            - NodeB forwards the reply to NodeA (REPLY 4)
                - NodeA gets the forth reply
