C Correct answer
Explanation

Auto Update is a feature available on DATE type fields in PeopleSoft. It automatically updates the field to the current date when the row is modified. CHAR, LONG CHAR, and NUMBER field types do not support this auto-update functionality.

AI explanation

The Auto Update field property automatically stamps the current system date onto a field whenever the row is saved, which only makes sense for a field typed as DATE. Character, long character, and number fields don't have a defined 'current value' the system can auto-populate in this way, so only the DATE field type supports Auto Update.
