Explanation

iwconfig is a Unix/Linux command-line utility used to display and configure wireless network interface parameters, including the connected SSID, signal strength, bit rate, and other wireless statistics. Among the listed options, it is the only one relevant to wireless network information. 'apt-get' is a Linux package manager, 'sudo' is a privilege escalation command, and 'ifconfig' displays general network interface configuration but does not provide wireless-specific details like SSID or signal stats.
