Explanation
GitHub Actions supports a wide range of webhook events as triggers: (A) Adding a comment to a discussion post - the 'discussion_comment' event can trigger a workflow; (D) Pushing to a GitHub repository - the 'push' event is one of the most common triggers; (F) Creating an Issue - the 'issues' event (with activity type 'opened') triggers workflows. Option B (creating a new repository) does not directly trigger workflows within that repo since the workflow file wouldn't exist yet. Option C (committing to a local git repository) has no effect until the commit is pushed to GitHub. Option E (disabling a GitHub runner) is an administrative action and does not trigger workflow runs.
