Explanation

A Centralized Version Control System (CVCS), like Subversion (SVN) or CVS, relies on a single central server that holds the entire project history. Developers 'check out' a working copy of files from that server, make changes, then commit back to it. This is the defining characteristic of CVCS. Option A describes a Distributed VCS (like Git), where every developer has a full local clone. Option B describes generic cloud storage. Option C describes manual file versioning with no actual VCS tool.
