VPC Flow Logs

VPC Flow Logs capture information about IP traffic going to and from network interfaces in a VPC, making them the correct choice for auditing network traffic. Option A is correct. AWS CloudTrail records API calls, not network traffic. AWS Config records resource configuration changes. Amazon GuardDuty analyzes logs and flows for threats, but it does not capture the raw traffic itself.
