AGit pushes the current branch to its default remote and branch if configured
BGit lists all remote branches available
CGit deletes the remote branch matching the current branch

Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
  1. Step 1: Understand default push behavior

    If no remote or branch is specified, Git uses the upstream branch configured for the current branch.

  3. Final Answer:

    Git pushes the current branch to its default remote and branch if configured -> Option A

    Default push uses upstream branch [OK]
Quick Trick: git push defaults to upstream branch if none specified [OK]
Common Mistakes:
