I thought Force.com IDE was more for development rather than deployment, so I'm leaning towards change sets for minor and metadata API for major releases.

I feel like the metadata API is a better fit for major releases since they involve more complex components, but I can't recall the specifics.

Okay, I know change sets are commonly used for smaller configuration changes, while the metadata API is better for larger, more complex deployments. I think option C might be the way to go here.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about the differences between change sets, Force.com IDE, and metadata API. I'll need to review my notes on those tools to make sure I understand their capabilities for minor vs. major releases.
