Explanation

Adobe Commerce's URL rewrite system automatically generates 301 redirects when a product's URL key changes (A), preserving SEO equity by signaling to search engines that the old URL has permanently moved - this is a built-in behavior you can toggle in config. The URL rewrite tool is also flexible enough to remap any URL associated with a product (C), not just the canonical one, giving marketers control over vanity URLs and campaign links.

Why the distractors are wrong:

B is false - custom rewrites can be created for any URL path, not just those tied to existing entities; you can create a rewrite pointing to an arbitrary target.
D is false - a rewrite transparently serves content at the new path with no browser redirect (invisible to the user), while a redirect sends the browser to a different URL (a 301/302 response); they behave differently for both users and crawlers.
E is false - URL rewrites are stored in the database (the url_rewrite table), not in an XML file; they are dynamic and editable via the Admin UI.

Memory tip: Think of URL rewrites as living in the database (dynamic, admin-editable) vs. routing rules that live in XML (static, code-level). And remember the rewrite/redirect distinction: a rewrite is a server-side alias (same URL in browser), a redirect is a browser instruction to go somewhere else.
