C Correct answer
Explanation

The man command displays manual pages for Unix commands. 'man cp' shows comprehensive documentation for the copy command, including usage syntax, options, and examples. This is the standard way to access detailed help for any Unix command. Options like 'help' or 'help cp' are not standard Unix help commands, and 'cp?' is not valid syntax.
