C Correct answer
Explanation

Alerts are the built-in feature for sending email notifications when list items are inserted or updated. Event handlers and workflows require custom development, and Timer Jobs are for scheduled tasks, not immediate notifications.

AI explanation

Alerts are the SharePoint/list feature specifically designed to notify users by email when items in a list are inserted, updated, or deleted, without requiring any custom code. Event Handlers and Workflows can trigger actions on list changes but need custom development to send email, and Timer Jobs run on a schedule rather than in direct response to list changes.
