Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C. Syntax highlighting

Explanation

The answer is Syntax highlighting, which is an editor or IDE feature that colours language keywords on screen and has nothing to do with managing source versions. Source code management (SCM) systems such as Git, SVN and Mercurial do provide synchronisation between a developer's working copy and the shared repository, versioning with a full revision history of every change, and forking so that an independent line of development can be spun off a project. Options (1), (2) and (4) are therefore all standard SCM capabilities.
