The correct answer is B. Compile. The Build activity of the Continuous Delivery Pipeline is responsible for creating deployable binaries and merging development branches into the trunk. The Build activity includes the following practices:

Compile – Compile is the process of transforming the source code into executable code that can run on a specific platform or environment. Compile involves checking the syntax, semantics, and dependencies of the code, and resolving any errors or conflicts. Compile also involves linking the code with other libraries or components that are required for the functionality of the solution.

Package – Package is the process of bundling the compiled code and other resources into a format that can be easily deployed to the target environment. Package involves creating archives, containers, or installers that contain the necessary files and metadata for the deployment process. Package also involves applying versioning and configuration information to the packages, to ensure traceability and consistency.

Verify – Verify is the process of ensuring that the code and packages meet the quality standards and security checks, and that they are ready for deployment and release. Verify involves applying automated tools and processes, such as static code analysis, code coverage, code review, and code quality metrics, to detect and resolve any issues or vulnerabilities in the code and packages. Verify also involves ensuring compliance with the coding standards and guidelines, and documenting the results and feedback of the verification process12
