What does the command "ipconfig" display in Windows?

  1. Current IP configuration and network settings ✓
  2. Installed software and drivers
  3. System configuration settings
  4. Hard disk configuration

Correct answer: Current IP configuration and network settings

Option A is correct because the ipconfig command displays the host's current TCP/IP configuration including IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and, with the /all flag, additional details such as MAC address, DNS servers, and DHCP lease information. Option B is wrong because installed software and driver information is accessed through Programs and Features or Device Manager, not ipconfig. Option C is wrong because system configuration settings such as startup services and boot options are managed with the msconfig utility, not ipconfig. Option D is wrong because hard disk configuration and partition information are viewed with Disk Management or the diskpart command, not ipconfig.
