C Correct answer
Explanation

Control-Z (Ctrl+Z) sends a SIGTSTP signal that suspends (pauses) a foreground process, giving you control of the shell. This is different from Control-C (interrupt/terminate) or Control-X (cut in many applications). The 'kill' command terminates processes, and 'stop' is not a standard suspending command.
