Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
The primary function of a version control system is to manage multiple versions and releases of software artifacts. Although these systems support parallel development and help identify regressions through history, their foundational purpose is version management. Bug reporting is typically handled by separate issue tracking systems rather than the VCS itself.
