Which of the following tools is used to configure, control, and query the TCP/IP network interface parameters?

NSLOOKUP is a DNS diagnostic tool used to query name servers for domain name resolution, not for configuring network interface parameters.

IPCONFIG is a Windows-specific command that displays and refreshes TCP/IP settings; the question refers to the broader Unix/Linux utility IFCONFIG.

ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) is used to map IP addresses to MAC addresses on a local network, not to configure or query interface parameters.

IFCONFIG (Interface Configuration) is the standard Unix/Linux tool used to configure, query, and control network interface parameters such as IP address, subnet mask, and MAC address. It can bring interfaces up or down and assign addresses, making it the correct cross-platform answer for TCP/IP interface management. IPCONFIG is its Windows-only counterpart and does not apply here.
