How to create a list of element-wise pairs from two lists?

Question

As an example, given

A = {a, b, c}
B = {x, y, z}

How do I create?

C = {{a, x}, {b, y}, {c, z}}

C=Table[{A[[i]], B[[i]]}, {i, 1, 3}]={{a, x}, {b, y}, {c, z}} — Schrodinger, Apr 16 '19 at 03:58
@all finding duplicates / there is a function for that / Transpose — Kuba, Apr 16 '19 at 06:52
@kuba I did not ask for a table of data. the question itself is very different than this. I spent a lot of time searching for this answer and didn't find it. My question is very specific and easy to find. And Table is not the only way to solve this, in fact table is more awkward. The upshot is, I believe this question will be useful to people and make it easier to find this solution. It's utility is reason to not delete it. — RFS, Apr 16 '19 at 10:00
@RFS where did I say Table? The accepted answer in the linked topic uses Transpose, which is the way to go in your case, or did I miss something? p.s. questions marked as duplicate won't be deleted but stay as road signs. — Kuba, Apr 16 '19 at 10:02
@kuba Ok, I was just concerned about deletion. Regarding table: You're right the method "How to make a table from two lists?" uses Transpose. Thanks for your guidance to someone fairly new to the platform. — RFS, Apr 16 '19 at 13:04

SUMMARIZING ALL THE METHODS GIVEN IN THE COMMENTS

Given two lists

A = {a, b, c}
B = {x, y, z}

Each of the following

Transpose[{A, B}]

Thread[{A, B}]

MapThread[List, {A, B}]

Table[{A[[i]], B[[i]]}, {i, 1, Length[A]}]

yield

{{a, x}, {b, y}, {c, z}}
