I remember practicing a question about Jenkinsfiles, and I think it was about how they define the pipeline structure. So, I feel like option C might be correct.

I'm not 100% sure, but I think the Jenkinsfile is only used for pipeline projects, not freestyle. So the answer is probably C. I'll double-check my notes to be sure.
