A Correct answer
Explanation

In MS-DOS and Windows command line, /? is the standard switch to display help information for any command. For example, typing "DIR /?" shows all options for the DIR command. The -help and /help syntaxes are used in other systems (like Unix/Linux), not MS-DOS.

AI explanation

Appending /? after most MS-DOS or Windows command-line commands displays that command's built-in help/usage text, listing its available switches and syntax. It's the standard, universally supported way to get quick reference help across DOS and Windows command-line versions, unlike the other forms shown which aren't the recognized DOS help switch.
