Selected Answer: B

It's either B or D. A: git remote doesn't trigger a pipeline. It just means that it's a location where you can push and pull code from. C: You push to the repo and then can you have a pipeline run that pulls the code from the repo. So either a webhook never got received on the CI server or no triggers have been configured for the pipeline and it needs to be started manually. As I don't know which, I'll just go for B.

Answer A is closely related to a remote runner. I think it's B, too, though webhooks may not be fully supported on all.
