C Correct answer
Explanation

Configuration Management (CM) controls versioned artifacts like source code, documentation, requirements, test cases, and operating systems - items that need to be tracked, controlled, and audited. Live production data is dynamic and constantly changing; it's not a version-controlled configuration item. CM manages the software and its artifacts, not the runtime data itself.

AI explanation

Configuration management tracks and controls items that define or document a system — such as operating systems, test documentation, and requirements documents — because these are versioned artifacts whose changes must be controlled. Live (production) data is transient operational content, not a configuration item, so it falls outside configuration management's scope.
