Explanation

hcmdssrv is the dedicated command-line utility for starting and stopping all HCS services together, making it the correct and supported method for pre-maintenance tasks like database restores. The Windows service panel (A) can manage individual services but lacks awareness of HCS service dependencies and startup order, risking data corruption. The HCS GUI (B) cannot be used to stop itself - you can't shut down the management interface from within the management interface. Option D (hcmdsservices) is a plausible-sounding distractor, but this command is used to list registered HCS services, not control them.

Memory tip: Think of hcmdssrv as "HCS manage srvices" - the srv suffix signals it's the service controller, while hcmdsservices (plural) is the service lister.
