Why each option

The listvgbackup command is the correct tool for listing and displaying the contents of an AIX mksysb backup image.

Amksysb-v-f/backup/LPAR1_mksysb

The mksysb command is used to create rootvg system backups, not to view their contents.

Brestore -Tqf /backup/LPAR1_mksysb

The restore command with -T lists contents of archives created by the standard backup command, not mksysb images.

Clistvgbackup -f/backup/LPAR1_mksysbCorrect

The listvgbackup command is specifically designed to read the table of contents embedded in a mksysb or savevg backup image. Using the -f flag followed by the backup file path instructs it to open the specified file and output the list of filesystems and files stored within the backup, which is exactly what is needed to inspect the image contents.

Dbackup-i -v-f/backup/LPAR1_mksysb

The backup command with -i creates file-based archives and cannot be used to display the contents of an existing mksysb image.
