Correct answer & explanation
✓
Automated triggers
Options B and C are correct. Automated triggers are event-based and fire when something specific happens, such as receiving an email or a new file being created. Scheduled triggers run at a specific time or on a recurring schedule. Option A (Recurrence) is a specific type of scheduled trigger, not a primary type. Options D (Instant) and E (Manual) are often considered subtypes of manual triggers, not primary types.
