Correct answer & explanation
✓
Amazon EventBridge
(Amazon EventBridge) can capture AWS CloudTrail events and trigger notifications. Option E (AWS CloudTrail) logs API calls, including changes to security group rules. Together, they provide monitoring and logging of security group changes. Option A is wrong because AWS Trusted Advisor provides best-practice checks, not change logging. Option B is wrong because VPC Flow Logs capture traffic, not configuration changes. Option D is wrong because AWS Config records resource state but does not log API calls.
