Explanation

A) Version control systems (e.g., Git) use branching and merging to allow multiple team members to work on the same codebase simultaneously without overwriting each other's work. B) Every commit records who changed what, when, and why - giving a complete long-term audit trail of every file. C is incorrect because distributing data across machines is a feature of distributed VCS but is not the primary benefit and not universally applicable. D is incorrect - CI/CD pipelines provide build/deployment automation, not version control itself. E is incorrect - linters and CI pipelines catch errors; version control itself does not execute tests before commit (pre-commit hooks are separate tooling).
