Explanation

'ip addr show dev eth3' is the correct modern Linux command to display address information (IP, subnet mask) and link status for a specific interface. 'ip list interface eth3' (A) and 'ip show eth3' (C) are not valid ip command syntax. 'ip config eth3' (D) mimics ifconfig syntax but is not valid for the 'ip' utility. The 'ip addr show dev <interface>' form is the standard iproute2 syntax.
