C Correct answer
Explanation

FSSP (Families of Structurally Similar Proteins) is automatically generated by comparing all protein structures in the PDB database using automated structure alignment algorithms. CATH and SUPERFAMILY involve manual curation or classification. SOCP (if referring to Structural Classification of Proteins) would be SCOP, which is also manual.
