Explanation

Inline comments are text annotations embedded directly within script code that are ignored during execution. They allow the author (or future maintainers) to explain what a block of code does, why a particular approach was chosen, or flag areas that may need updating. Most scripting languages use a symbol such as # (Bash, Python, PowerShell) or // (JavaScript) to denote comments. End-user documentation (B) is for end users, not developers. Change management (C) is a formal IT process for managing system changes. Environmentally aware variables (D) relate to environment-specific configuration values, not code annotations.
