Explanation
Dxdiag (DirectX Diagnostic Tool) is a built-in Windows utility specifically designed to display DirectX version information and diagnose DirectX-related issues. It is launched by typing 'dxdiag' in the Run dialog or Command Prompt. REGEDIT (A) could theoretically find DirectX version info in the registry, but it is not the intended or best tool for this task. Services.msc (B) manages Windows services and has no relation to DirectX. Msconfig (D) manages startup programs and boot options, not DirectX diagnostics. Dxdiag is the purpose-built, correct answer.
