Correct answer: push notification.
Why this is the answer
The Hootsuite mobile app uses a push notification to alert you when it's time to publish an Instagram message to a personal account. This is a standard method for mobile applications to provide timely, actionable alerts. When you schedule an Instagram post for a personal profile (which requires manual publishing due to Instagram's API limitations for personal accounts), Hootsuite sends a push notification to your device at the scheduled time. Tapping this notification will guide you through the final steps within the Instagram app to complete the post. Email and text messages are not used for this real-time alert, and a calendar reminder is a passive notification that wouldn't directly facilitate the publishing process.
