Which option demonstrates the proper abbreviated clearance to DUPAGE COUNTY AIRPORT AS FILED with altitude 1100?

Explanation:
Abbreviated clearances tell the pilot to go to a destination following the route exactly as it was filed, and then to hold a specific altitude. The correct form places the destination first and then the instruction to follow the filed route with the altitude. So, you’d say: Cleared to Dupage County Airport as filed, maintain one thousand one hundred. This states clearly that you’ll follow the filed route to the airport and hold 1,100 feet. The other options try to insert the route as “via flight plan route,” which isn’t the standard concise way to express “as filed” in this context.
