Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C, E
Explanation
Version control provides significant advantages for collaborative development projects, including tracking changes, enabling reversion to previous states, and facilitating team collaboration. While it helps manage conflicts, it does not completely eliminate the need for manual conflict resolution.
- A. Correct.
Version control systems like Git track all changes made to files, allowing the team to view a history of modifications and identify who made specific changes.
- B. Incorrect.
While version control helps reduce conflicts, it does not eliminate them entirely. Conflicts can still occur when multiple team members edit the same parts of a file, and manual intervention may be needed to resolve them.
- C. Correct.
Version control allows users to revert to previous versions of files, which is critical for undoing mistakes or restoring a known good state.
- D. Incorrect.
Version control systems do not automatically merge all conflicting changes. Users must manually resolve conflicts in cases where changes overlap or contradict each other.
- E. Correct.
Version control greatly enhances collaboration by enabling team members to share, review, and merge changes in a structured manner.
