Answer: (C)

Google Tag Manager is a tag management system that lets you deploy and manage multiple tracking tags for advertising and analytics from a single, centralized interface. You place a container snippet on your site, then add tags (like Google Analytics, Google Ads conversion tracking, or third‑party pixels) inside GTM. Tags fire based on triggers you define (for example, on every page load or when a button is clicked), and variables capture data (like page URL or click text) to send to those tags. This approach makes it easy to update or add tracking without touching site code, provides version control and testing tools, and helps ensure tags fire reliably. It’s not a content management system for building pages, a network monitoring tool, or a browser extension; it specifically focuses on centralized tag deployment and management.
