The Lagrangian points, also known as L-points, are positions in a two-body system where the gravitational forces of the two large masses and the centrifugal force balance each other. In a binary star system, the matter can be transferred from one star to the other through the Lagrangian points, located directly between the two stars where the Roche lobes meet. Therefore, the correct answer is C) Lagrangian points.
