C Correct answer
Explanation

mysqldump is the standard MySQL command-line tool for creating backups. It dumps database contents or structures as SQL statements. The 'mysql' command is for executing SQL queries or importing data, not backups. 'mysqlbackup' is a separate commercial tool from Oracle, and 'mydump' doesn't exist as a standard MySQL utility.
