I think ifconfig is more about network interfaces, so it probably isn't the right choice for checking the SSHD service.

Okay, let me think this through. The question is asking about verifying if the SSHD service is listening, so I'm pretty sure the answer is C - netstat. That's the go-to command for checking network services and ports.
