C Correct answer
Explanation

MySQL stores its system metadata (information about databases, tables, users, privileges) in a system database called 'mysql'. This database contains critical tables like 'user', 'db', 'tables_priv', and others that manage access control and schema information. It's not stored in 'metadata' or 'metasql' databases.
