The correct command to configure Git settings is git config. The question's options contain a typo, using get instead of git. Assuming this typo, option B provides the correct keys for setting the user's name and email: user.name and user.email.

A. The command get is incorrect, and the key user-name (with a hyphen) is not the valid configuration key for the username.

C. The command get git config is syntactically incorrect. The correct command is simply git config.

D. The command get is incorrect, and the keys username and useremail (with underscores) are not the valid configuration keys.
