A.
pkg search

B.
pkg info

C.
pkg list

D.
pkginfo

E.
pkg contents

Explanation:
Use the pkg search command to search for packages whose data matches the
specified pattern.
Like the pkg contents command, the pkg search command examines the contents of packages.
While the pkg contents command returns the contents, the pkg search command returns the
names of packages that match the query.

I would say that it’s A, using a wildcard to display all of the packages that make up the group/system/solaris-desktop group.

root@solaris:~# pkg search */solaris-desktop
INDEX ACTION VALUE PACKAGE
incorporate depend group/system/[email protected] pkg:/consolidation/solaris_re/[email protected]
require depend group/system/solaris-desktop pkg:/[email protected]
pkg.fmri set solaris/group/system/solaris-desktop pkg:/group/system/[email protected]

Listing All Packages In a Group Package

The Oracle Solaris 11 GUI installer installs the solaris-desktop group package. The text installer and the default AI manifest in an Automated Installer installation install the solaris-large-server group package. The solaris-small-server group package is an alternative you can use to install a smaller set of packages on a server. You can use the following search form to display the set of packages that is included in each group.
$ pkg search -o fmri -H ‘*/solaris-desktop:depend:group:’
