Why each option

IPCONFIG is the Windows command-line utility that displays the current TCP/IP network configuration of a host.

ANBTSTAT

NBTSTAT displays NetBIOS over TCP/IP statistics and current connections, not the general TCP/IP interface configuration.

BIPCONFIGCorrect

IPCONFIG (IP Configuration) is the standard Windows NT and later command-line tool that displays the host's current TCP/IP settings, including IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway. Running 'ipconfig /all' also shows DNS servers, DHCP status, and MAC address.

CCONFIG.SYS

CONFIG.SYS is a legacy MS-DOS system initialization file used at boot time, not a utility for viewing TCP/IP settings.

DFTP

FTP is a file transfer client used to connect to FTP servers and transfer files; it has no function for displaying network configuration.
