The correct option is A web based service that hosts Git repositories and adds collaboration tools such as pull requests and issues.

GitHub is a hosted platform built on top of Git that stores repositories and provides a web interface for collaboration. Teams use it to review code through pull requests, discuss work through issues, and manage workflows and permissions. It is not a replacement for Git because it uses Git for version control and then adds hosting and collaboration capabilities.

Cloud Source Repositories is a Google Cloud product that hosted Git repositories but it is not GitHub. This service has been retired by Google which makes it less likely to be a viable choice on newer exams.

A code editor is a local tool used to write and edit code, which does not describe GitHub. GitHub is a hosted service that provides repository hosting and collaboration features rather than being an editor.

A version control system describes Git rather than GitHub. GitHub uses Git for version control and adds web based hosting and collaboration features on top.
