Explanation

Manual Differential (C) is correct because it is triggered by an administrator's direct create, update, or delete action on a specific CI - it syncs only the delta (the changed item), not the full dataset, and it requires a human to initiate it through that specific operation.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (Automated Differential): Also syncs only changes, but runs on a schedule automatically - no admin action required to trigger it.
• B (Push): Sends the full dataset from source to target, not a targeted response to a single CI change.
• D (OnDemand): Triggered by an explicit manual request (e.g., a sync button), not as a consequence of a create/update/delete operation on a CI.

Memory tip: Think of Manual Differential as the system "reacting" to what the admin just touched - manual (a human did something) + differential (only that changed item syncs). If the admin edits a CI, the system auto-responds with a targeted sync of just that record.
