Explanation

Creating a variation of a master content fragment (C) is the recommended approach because AEM Content Fragments are specifically designed to hold channel-neutral content, and variations allow authors to maintain alternate versions of that content - such as an AI-generated summary - directly alongside the master, without duplicating or restructuring anything.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A - Modifying a component changes presentation logic, not content; a component shouldn't own or generate summarized copy.
• B - Experience Fragment variations serve layout/channel differences (e.g., web vs. email rendering), not alternate textual versions of the same content.
• D - A workflow could automate summary generation, but it's not the mechanism for displaying it; it's also far more complex than necessary for this use case.

Memory tip: Think of it this way - Content Fragment = content variants (same text, different lengths/forms), Experience Fragment = layout variants (same layout, different channels). When the question is about alternate content, reach for a Content Fragment variation.
