Answer options

• A. facilitates resolving conflicts when merging code
• B. ensures that unit tests are written
• C. prevents over-writing code or configuration files
• D. forces the practice of trunk-based development

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Option A is correct because a version control system helps developers manage and resolve conflicts that arise when multiple changes are made to the same codebase. The other options, while they may represent good practices, are not inherent advantages of a version control system itself.
