What is the Windows command line tool to compress files?

compress.exe
zip.exe
winzip.exe
rar.exe

The correct answer is: compress.exe

The Windows command line tool to compress files is not zip.exe or winzip.exe as these are not built-in tools and need to be installed separately. rar.exe will only compress files into RAR format which may not be supported on all systems. compress.exe, also known as compact.exe, is the native Windows compression tool which can handle both .zip and .rar file formats and is therefore the most suitable and convenient answer for the given question.
