Explanation

Version control systems (VCS) like Git provide built-in tooling to detect, display, and help resolve merge conflicts when multiple developers modify the same files - this is a core, defining advantage. Choice C is correct. Choice A is wrong; VCS does not force any particular branching strategy like trunk-based development - teams choose their own workflow. Choice B is incorrect; VCS does not prevent overwriting files outright, but it does track history so overwritten changes can be recovered. Choice D is wrong; VCS has no mechanism to enforce unit test creation - that is a team practice or CI pipeline concern.
