The correct option is Version control records who changed files when and what differences were made so teams can restore prior working states.

Version control systems record a history of changes so teams can see who made each change and when the change occurred. They also store the differences between versions which makes it possible to compare revisions and restore a prior working state when needed.

Beyond restoring prior states this history supports collaboration through branching and merging and it enables code review and auditing because authorship and timestamps are preserved for each change.

Version control systems automatically increment build or release version numbers is incorrect because maintaining build or release numbers is normally handled by build or release tooling and by explicit tagging or scripting rather than by the version control system itself.

Cloud Build is incorrect because it names a specific CI CD service and not a general benefit of version control. Cloud Build can integrate with version control systems but it is a build and delivery tool rather than an explanation of version control advantages.

Version control only stores binary snapshots without preserving who made the changes is incorrect because modern version control systems store metadata about each change including the author and timestamp and they typically record changes as diffs rather than simple opaque binary snapshots.
