\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{lmodern} %%% needed for \ttfamily\bfseries
\begin{document}
\underline{\texttt{OPTIONS}}

{\ttfamily\bfseries OPTIONS}

{\ttfamily-f \itshape filename}
\end{document}

BTW, whether text is underlined, bold, italic, colored,... depends on
the the capabilities of your terminal.  What's underlined in your
terminal might be colored in another one.

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
