C is the clear winner here. Buildpacks are like the secret sauce that turn your code into a Heroku-ready slug. *slurps soup loudly*

Hmm, I'm torn between B and C, but I think C is the winner. A slug is just a packaged version of the app, not a shortened language.

Option C makes the most sense to me. A buildpack is responsible for taking code in a specific language and converting it into a deployable slug.
