A company's CI pipeline builds a Java application using Maven. The build sometimes fails because a dependency is not found in the central repository. The team wants to ensure that builds are reliable and do not depend on external repository availability. What is the best practice?

Increase the timeout for Maven builds.

Use a private artifact repository (e.g., Nexus or Artifactory) as a proxy and cache for dependencies.

Commit all dependencies to the source repository.

A team uses Git for source control and wants to ensure that every commit to the main branch triggers a build and test pipeline. They also want to enforce that no one can push directly to main; changes must go through a pull request. Which combination of practices should they implement?

Ask developers to run builds locally before pushing and rely on code reviews.

Create a separate repository for production code and have developers push there.

Use a pre-commit hook to run tests and allow direct pushes to main.

Set up branch protection rules on main and configure a webhook to trigger the pipeline on pull request merge.
