Selected Answer: B
Automated version control systems, such as Git, SVN (Subversion), or Mercurial, are specifically designed to track changes to source code over time. These systems provide a comprehensive history of changes, including who made the changes, when they were made, and the details of each change. They allow developers to manage different versions of the code, collaborate effectively, and roll back to previous versions if needed. Automated version control is a standard and widely adopted practice in software development for maintaining an accurate and reliable audit trail.
