Explanation

Chain Replication Agent is correct because it enables content to automatically propagate through a series of AEM tiers - from Author to Publish, and onward to the live delivery layer - so every author activation triggers an end-to-end content push without manual steps.

Dispatcher Flush Agent (A) only invalidates the Dispatcher cache; it does not replicate content itself, so the live site content is not updated - only stale cache entries are cleared.

Static Replication Agent (B) writes content to a static file system for flat-file delivery scenarios, not for live, dynamically served sites that need on-demand updates from author activations.

Reverse Replication Agent (D) moves content in the opposite direction - from Publish back to Author - typically for user-generated content like form submissions; it has no role in pushing author content to the live site.

Memory tip: Think of the word "chain" literally - content links through the delivery chain (Author → Publish → Live) automatically. If the question mentions author triggers activation and live site updates, picture the chain pulling content all the way downstream.
