$display in Verilog and printf in C

As you know in Verilog has $display,$strobe and $monitor those used to display text on the screen. And in C has printf to display text on screen also.

My question is how can I use one of them ($display,$strobe,$monitor) like printf in C?

a: $display
b:$strobe
c:$monitor
d: all of them
e: other
