Correct answer & explanation
✓
Build
The build stage (C) is a core step in a continuous integration pipeline where source code is compiled, dependencies are resolved, and executable artifacts are produced. Without a successful build, subsequent stages like testing and deployment cannot proceed, making it a foundational stage in CI/CD workflows.
