Why each option
The Computer Management Console is launched by running compmgmt.msc from the command line or Run dialog on Windows.
compmgmt.msc is the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in file for Computer Management, which provides access to tools like Device Manager, Disk Management, and Event Viewer. Running it from the command line (or the Run dialog via Win+R) directly opens the Computer Management console. Administrative privileges are required to access most of its features.
gpedit.msc (not gpedit alone) launches the Local Group Policy Editor, not the Computer Management Console.
ncpa.cpl opens the Network Connections control panel applet, which manages network adapters and connections.
services.msc opens the Services MMC snap-in directly, which is a sub-component available within Computer Management, not the full console.
