Explanation

Workflow Launchers are AEM's built-in mechanism for automatically triggering workflows based on specific events - such as node creation, modification, or deletion - on defined node paths or types in the author environment, making them the precise fit for this requirement.

• A (Launches) is a content marketing feature for managing multi-channel campaign launches on a future date; it has nothing to do with automated workflow triggering.
• C (DAM Update Asset workflow) is a specific, pre-built workflow designed exclusively for processing digital assets (images, videos); it doesn't generalize to arbitrary node types.
• D (Activation model workflow) governs the replication/publishing process from author to publish; it's triggered by activation actions, not by changes to specific node types.

Memory tip: Think of "Launchers" as the launch pad - they watch for a specific event on a node type and launch a workflow automatically. If the question mentions "trigger automatically on node change," the answer is always Workflow Launchers.
