   A Salesforce team uses GitHub for source control, Jenkins for CI, and a third-party deployment tool for production releases. They want to automate the entire pipeline so that when a pull request is merged to main, Jenkins builds and tests the code, and then triggers the deployment tool to release to production. They also want to see the deployment status in GitHub. Which integration strategy should they use?

   • AUse a third-party integration tool that connects GitHub, Jenkins, and the deployment tool
   • BUse Jenkins polling to detect the merge, and use the deployment tool's webhook to report status to GitHub
   • CUse GitHub Actions to build and test, and use a custom script to trigger the deployment tool
   • DUse a GitHub webhook to trigger Jenkins, and use the Jenkins GitHub plugin to report build status and trigger the deployment tool via its API
