Answer: (C)

Media availability in Pro Tools is shown with color cues. When a file is online, the Timeline clip is green; if a file goes offline, it turns red. The Session status indicator follows the same scheme: green means all media are online, red means one or more files are offline. This quick color coding helps you spot missing media and relink it to restore playback. Other colors like yellow, blue, or purple aren’t used for this indicator.
