Correct answer: C

Object Oriented Database Management Systems (OODBMS) are designed to store data as objects, similar to object-oriented programming languages. They inherently support versioning mechanisms for complex entities, allowing multiple versions of the same object to be maintained without external schema modifications. Relational, Hierarchical, and Network DBMS typically rely on flat structures or require complex external design to manage version history effectively.
