BIt is run by clicking on the "ipconfig" icon in start menu or under programs.
CIt is run from the command prompt screen by default by simply bringing up the command prompt.
DIt is run from the command prompt screen by typing "ipconfig/all".
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) It is run from the command prompt screen by typing "ipconfig/all". The ipconfig utility is a Windows command-line tool used to display and manage network configuration information. It is not launched by clicking on a shortcut icon, as in option A or B. Instead, it is accessed by opening the command prompt and typing the "ipconfig" command, followed by the "/all" parameter to display detailed network information. The "/all" option provides more comprehensive details compared to the basic "ipconfig" command. The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately describe how the ipconfig utility is launched. Option C is incorrect as it does not specify the need to type the "ipconfig" command in the command prompt. Option A and B are incorrect as they suggest the utility can be launched from a graphical interface, which is not the case.
