The correct command is the only option that combines the following three switches while remaining in compression mode:
-9e selects preset level 9 and its extreme variant, giving the best possible compression ratio.
-T0 makes xz detect the number of CPU cores and start that many worker threads, so every core is used on the 8-core host.
-k (or --keep) tells xz not to remove the original file after a successful compression.
Each of the other commands fails one requirement: one omits -k (the ISO would be deleted), another adds -d (switches to decompression), and the last uses an invalid thread value (-T all).
