You are a Dynamics 365 Finance developer. You make changes to an existing class. You need to compare the code that is in source control with the…

To compare local code changes with the version in Team Foundation Version Control (TFVC), a developer can use several integrated methods within Visual Studio. From the Team Explorer or Solution Explorer, right-clicking the modified file provides context menu options to Compare with Latest Version (the most recent version on the server) or Compare with Workspace Version (the version you originally checked out). Both are valid ways to review changes. Alternatively, the developer can use the Developer Command Prompt for Visual Studio and run the tf diff command, which is the command-line utility for performing the same comparison, showing the differences between the local file and the server version.

C. In Team Explorer, select Compare Files.

This is a generic command that opens a dialog to compare two arbitrarily selected files. It lacks the direct, context-aware integration to compare a local file against its specific version in source control.

E. Run the vsdiffmerge command.

vsdiffmerge.exe is the visual differencing tool that Visual Studio invokes. It is not the command used to initiate a comparison with a source-controlled item; it is the application that displays the results of commands like tf diff.
