After a fresh install every option of the default configuration file in /etc/ssh/sshd_config commented out. But when I run /usr/sbin/sshd -tT, there are many option actually to see.

Where are those came from?

Even with an empty sshd configuration file, sshd has a default set of options that it will use out-of-the-box. To see learn more about these options, run man sshd_config. The page has the options (keywords) available, and often, what the default values are.

The /etc/ssh/sshd_config is provided with these default options commented out to make the job of the system admin easier.
