C Correct answer
Explanation

/etc/mtab contains information about currently mounted filesystems on Linux systems, dynamically updated by the mount command. /etc/fstab contains static configuration for filesystems to mount at boot, while /etc/inittab is for init system configuration. /etc/filesystems defines filesystem types but not mount status.
