Explanation

Option C is correct because Adobe Commerce (Magento) does not natively host or stream video files - it relies on external platforms like YouTube for video delivery. The merchant must upload the video to YouTube, configure their YouTube Data API key in the Adobe Commerce Admin under Stores > Configuration > Catalog > Product Video, and then attach the YouTube URL to the product's media gallery.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A is incorrect because the "Images and Video" section on a product page links to external video URLs (YouTube/Vimeo) - it does not accept direct video file uploads.
• B is incorrect because while SFTP can place files in the media folder, Adobe Commerce has no built-in mechanism to play video files stored there on a product page.
• D is incorrect for the same reason as B - the file manager handles images, not video playback; there is no native video player tied to locally stored media files.

Memory tip: Think "Adobe Commerce = No video storage, YouTube does the heavy lifting." The key phrase to remember is API key first - without configuring the YouTube API key in the Admin, no videos can be linked, making that configuration step the gating requirement that distinguishes C from all other options.
