Question about identifying utilities

in Network+
When it says:
Given a troubleshooting scenario, select the appropriate network utility from the following:
• Tracert / traceroute
• ping
• arp
• netstat
• nbtstat
• ipconfig / ifconfig
• winipcfg
• nslookup / dig
Does it expect you to know the switches involved with each utility like -s, -a, -d etc?
Or do I just need to know the utility in general?

Most of them have about 3-5 different switches per utility. It's either all or nothing.
I didn't know if the Network+ exam covered switches or just the utility as a whole.
Can anyone say for sure?WGU - Bachelors in Information Technology

I remember having some questions on ipconfig, arp, netstat, nbtstat, ping. Wanboy67's list of switches will get you through the exam. I would practice the switches, that way you will get some hands on.
