Your are troubleshooting network throughput on your server. To confirm that the load balancing among aggregated links is functioning properly, you want to examine the traffic statistics on the links…

Explanation

dlstat show-aggr is the correct subcommand in Oracle Solaris for displaying per-link traffic statistics across all physical links that make up a link aggregation (LACP/trunk). It's specifically designed for this use case - showing the load distribution across each member link of an aggregation so you can verify traffic is being balanced properly.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (dlstat - aggr) - invalid syntax; dlstat uses subcommand-style arguments, not hyphenated flags as the primary verb.
• C (dlstat show-link -r) - show-link displays general link statistics, and -r limits output to receive stats; neither targets the internal links of an aggregation.
• D (dlstat show-link -aggr) - -aggr is not a valid option for show-link; the subcommand itself would need to be show-aggr.
• E (dlstat show-phys -aggr) - show-phys reports physical NIC statistics, and -aggr is not a valid flag for it; wrong subcommand entirely.

Memory tip: Think of the command as matching the object you want to inspect - show-aggr = show the aggregation's member link stats. In Solaris dlstat, subcommands name the resource type (show-link, show-phys, show-aggr), so when the question mentions aggregation, the answer will contain aggr as the subcommand, not a flag.
