To listen on port 2222 for incoming connections from a remote system using netcat, you use the command that includes the -l (listen) switch specifying the port. The correct command is `nc.exe -l -p 2222`, but there is a typographical mistake in the option where '1' should be 'l'. Hence, the correct answer based on the options given would be D, assuming '1' is a typographical error for 'l'.
