C Correct answer
Explanation

In user-managed backup procedures, the DBA uses operating system commands (like cp, tar, or utilities in Windows/Unix) to copy Oracle data files. This contrasts with RMAN-managed backups where Oracle's Recovery Manager handles file operations. Options A and B are SQL-level tools, not file-level operations. Option D describes server-managed backups, not user-managed.
