In a scenario where a stored procedure modifies the database state, Entity Framework uses ________ to track changes.

Entity Framework employs Change Detection to monitor changes made by stored procedures in the database. When a stored procedure modifies the database state, Entity Framework automatically detects these changes to ensure consistency between the application's data model and the database. Change Tracking refers to tracking changes made to entities within the application. Transaction Handling deals with managing database transactions, and Data Annotations are used for defining metadata about entity properties.
