B - What SVN (TortoiseSVN) is 

Apache Subversion (often abbreviated SVN, after its command name svn) is a software versioning and revision control system distributed as open source under the Apache License. Its goal is to be a mostly compatible successor to the widely used Concurrent Versions System (CVS).

Subversion was created by CollabNet Inc. in 2000, and is now a top-level Apache project being built and used by a global community of contributors.

While SVN is the Server side app, with offered online service, TortoiseSVN is its Client Side GUI tool.
