The correct option is GitHub Desktop is a free open source desktop app for working with local Git repositories that can sync with Git hosting services, while GitHub.com is the web platform for repository hosting collaboration and project management.

GitHub Desktop is a graphical desktop application that helps you clone repositories, manage branches, commit changes, resolve simple conflicts, and push or pull to remotes. It works offline for local operations and connects to GitHub or other Git hosting services when you need to sync.

GitHub.com is the web platform where repositories are hosted and where teams collaborate. You use it for pull requests, code review, issues, discussions, releases, and project management features.

GitHub Desktop is only for browser based editing and requires a constant internet connection, while GitHub.com supports offline development workflows is incorrect because Desktop is not browser based and it supports offline work for local Git operations. GitHub.com is a web service and it does not provide offline development.

GitHub Desktop is a command line tool for Git, while GitHub.com is a website for hosting repositories is incorrect because Desktop is a graphical client rather than a command line tool, and the statement does not accurately distinguish their roles.

GitHub Desktop provides cloud hosted development environments similar to Codespaces, while GitHub.com is used only for issue tracking is incorrect because Desktop does not provision cloud development environments and GitHub.com offers many features beyond issue tracking such as repositories, pull requests, and project planning.
